The INRIA DataLake: A Generic and Scalable Ecosystem of Pipelines for HAL Applied to Software Mentions Tracking

Research repositories contain a large amount of scientific knowledge, but access to structured articles and specialised information, such as datasets or software metadata, remains limited. In this paper, we present the INRIA DataLake project, which provides an ecosystem of scalable and interconnected pipelines for preparing scientific literature, extracting structured information, and applying specialised treatments. Using a large-scale shared infrastructure, Grid'5000/ABACA, we demonstrate our ecosystem through a concrete use case: extracting software mentions from scientific articles deposited daily and visualising them after validation in the HAL research portal. Our results show that the system can efficiently process large volumes of scientific literature while supporting user validation and interoperability with external systems. Designed to grow by integrating additional pipelines and sharing the preparation effort across research groups, this project already contributes to open science through improved visibility and tracking of research software.

Making Software FAIR: A machine-assisted workflow for the research software lifecycle

A key issue hindering discoverability, attribution and reusability of open research software is that its existence often remains hidden within the manuscript of research papers. For these resources to become first-class bibliographic records, they first need to be identified and subsequently registered with persistent identifiers (PIDs) to be made FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable). To this day, much open research software fails to meet FAIR principles and software resources are mostly not explicitly linked from the manuscripts that introduced them or used them. SoFAIR is a 2-year international project (2024-2025) which proposes a solution to the above problem realised over the content available through the global network of open repositories. SoFAIR will extend the capabilities of widely used open scholarly infrastructures (CORE, Software Heritage, HAL) and tools (GROBID) operated by the consortium partners, delivering and deploying an effective solution for the management of the research software lifecycle, including: 1) ML-assisted identification of research software assets from within the manuscripts of scholarly papers, 2) validation of the identified assets by authors, 3) registration of software assets with PIDs and their archival.

Nine Best Practices for Research Software Registries and Repositories: A Concise Guide

Scientific software registries and repositories serve various roles in their respective disciplines. These resources improve software discoverability and research transparency, provide information for software citations, and foster preservation of computational methods that might otherwise be lost over time, thereby supporting research reproducibility and replicability. However, developing these resources takes effort, and few guidelines are available to help prospective creators of registries and repositories. To address this need, we present a set of nine best practices that can help managers define the scope, practices, and rules that govern individual registries and repositories. These best practices were distilled from the experiences of the creators of existing resources, convened by a Task Force of the FORCE11 Software Citation Implementation Working Group during the years 2019-2020. We believe that putting in place specific policies such as those presented here will help scientific software registries and repositories better serve their users and their disciplines.
