Abstract

This paper proposes an interactive repository type for research software\nmetadata which measures and documents software sustainability by accumulating\nmetadata, and computing sustainability metrics over them. Such a repository\nwould help to overcome technical barriers to software sustainability by\nfurthering the discovery and identification of sustainable software, thereby\nalso facilitating documentation of research software within the framework of\nsoftware management plans.\n
