We use signposting (schema.org) in our repository, activating the plugin JSONLD which does:

sub dataobj_to_html_header
{
        my( $plugin, $dataobj ) = @_;

        my $jsonld = $plugin->{session}->make_doc_fragment;

        my $script_tag = $plugin->{session}->make_element( "script", type => "application/ld+json", id => "jsonLinkedData" );
        my $eprintld = $plugin->convert_dataobj( $dataobj );
        my $json = JSON::to_json( $eprintld );
        $script_tag->appendChild( $plugin->{session}->make_text( $json ) );
        $jsonld->appendChild($script_tag);
  $jsonld->appendChild( $plugin->{session}->make_text( "\n" ) );
        return $jsonld;
}

We agree to use spdx, it is used to automatically extract license information from repositories.

Hi [and apologies for cross-posting],

Just wondering if anyone in the EPrints community has looked into using the SPDX licence definitions, which cover the CC licences as well as many others: https://spdx.org/licenses/

 

The ‘FAIR Signposting profile’: https://signposting.org/FAIR/#scholobject indicates it’s their preferred way to include licence information.

Currently EPrints has a set of short codes it uses for the licences namedset. SPDX does a similar thing with a standardised short-code, but then machine-readable details/links.

 

The list itself is available in a few machine-friendly formats- JSON / JSON-LD / RDFa e.g. https://github.com/spdx/license-list-data/blob/main/json/licenses.json, so could either be incorporated either into the core EPrints codebase, of into an ‘extended’ licences plugin/ingredient.

 

At this point in time, just wondering if other people had come across it.

 

Cheers,

John
