OntoSoft: Capturing Scientific Software Metadata

TLDR
OntoSoft, an ontology to describe metadata for scientific software, is presented, designed considering how scientists would approach the reuse and sharing of software.
Abstract
This paper presents OntoSoft, an ontology to describe metadata for scientific software. The ontology is designed considering how scientists would approach the reuse and sharing of software. This includes supporting a scientist to: 1) identify software, 2) understand and assess software, 3) execute software, 4) get support for the software, 5) do research with the software, and 6) update the software. The ontology is available in OWL and contains more than fifty terms. We are using OntoSoft to structure a software registry for geosciences, and to develop user interfaces to capture its metadata.

Most computational hydrology is not reproducible, so is it really science?

TL;DR: It is recommended that reuseable code and formal workflows, which unambiguously reproduce published scientific results, are made available for the community alongside data, so that the community can verify previous findings, and build directly from previous work.

Semantic-Enhanced Training Data Augmentation Methods for Long-Tail Entity Recognition Models

TL;DR: This work aimed at showing how, by enhancing the size and quality of the training data using different techniques, it will be possible to improve the performance of Long-tail Entity Recognition (L-tER).

Sweetening Ontologies with DOLCE

TL;DR: This paper introduces the DOLCE upper level ontology, the first module of a Foundational Ontologies Library being developed within the WonderWeb project, and suggests that such analysis could hopefully lead to an ?

Shedding Light on the Dark Data in the Long Tail of Science

TL;DR: How the concepts from long-tail economics can be used to understand potential solutions for better curation of dark data is discussed, which is not carefully indexed and stored and therefore is more likely to remain underutilized and eventually lost.

Scientific software production: incentives and collaboration

TL;DR: A multiple-case study of software development in three fields: high energy physics, structural biology, and microbiology identifies ways in which incentives are matched and mismatched with the needs of the science fields, especially with respect to collaboration.

Towards ontologies for formalizing modularization and communication in large software systems

TL;DR: This paper proposes a framework of ontologies that combines the reuse of existing foundational ontologies and the new Core Software Ontology, which avoids the typical shortcomings related approaches exhibit and allows for the concise definition of commonalities and differences of the two paradigms.
