CURIOSS Deep Dive: An Introduction to Software Identifers Session Overview Roberto Di Cosmo and Morane Gruenpeter of Software Heritage discuss the key concepts relating to software identifiers in academia and also explored the value of intrinsic vs extrinsic software identifiers. Speaker Bios RobertoDi Cosmo (Founder, CEO) After teaching for almost a decade at Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, Roberto Di Cosmo became full professor in Computer Science at University Paris Cité. He is currently on leave at Inria to lead the Software Heritage project. His research interests span a wide spectrum from foundational aspects of logical systems to functional programming, parallel and distributed programming. He created and directed the European reseach project, Mancoosi, to improve the quality of large collections of software quality, and is investigating the scientific problems posed by the general adoption of Free Software, with a particular focus on static analysis of large software collections. A long term Free Software advocate, contributing to its adoption since 1998, he has created the Free Software thematic group of Systematic in October 2007, which has helped fund over 40 research and development projects. He is now director of IRILL, a research structure dedicated to Free and Open Source Software quality. Morane Gruenpeter (Head of Open Science) After several years as a professional harpist, Morane found a new career path in software engineering. Morane joined the Software Heritage team in 2017 while finishing a Master’s degree in Computer Science at University Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris. From 2018-2019, she continued her research in collaboration with the European EU2020 CROSSMINER project on the software metadata challenge by building the Semantic Web of FOSS projects. Then from 2020-2022, she represented Inria in the FAIRsFAIR project. In 2022, her role evolved as she assumed managment responsibilities as the Work Package 6 lead in the FAIRCORE4EOSC project and Work Package 3 lead in the SoFAIR project, which started in January 2024. Morane is an active member of several working groups and initiatives for OpenScience, including: the CodeMetainitiative, the ResearchData Alliance’s Software Source Code interest group and the SciCodesconsortium. As part of Software Heritage Open Science activities, Morane is the contact point for the SCOSS fundraising campaign and for the OpenScience partnerships, overseeing a variety of partnerships with entities suchas the CCSD-HAL-Episciences, IPOL, eLife, Zenodo-InvenioRDM, SwMath, Dagstuhl,and others.

Fantastic news from #SoftwareHeritage that the Software Hash Identifier (SWHID) is now an ISO/IEC international standard – ISO/IEC 18670!

A huge congratulations to Roberto di Cosmo, @moranegg.bsky.social and everyone involved!
