I don't have any direct experience with zenodo, but their features page seems to indicate that they do issue DOIs: "Zenodo assigns all publicly available uploads a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to make the upload easily and uniquely citeable. Zenodo further supports harvesting of all content via the OAI-PMH protocol." They have the concept of project-level curated repositories, as well "Zenodo allows you to create your own collection and accept or reject all uploads to it. Creating a space for your next workshop or project have never been easier. Plus, everything is citeable and discoverable." Whether this would integrate well with Bioconductor's needs or not - as we obviously already have the repository aspect covered... - is not clear. I was (and am) less advocating we specifically use/collaborate with Zenodo and more that DOIs for packages would be a Good Thing (tm) that Bioc may (or may not) have the clout and resources to manage. ~G > > > Martin > > -- > Computational Biology / Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center > 1100 Fairview Ave. N. > PO Box 19024 Seattle, WA 98109 > > Location: Arnold Building M1 B861 > Phone: (206) 667-2793 > > _______________________________________________ > Bioc-devel@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioc-devel > -- Gabriel Becker, Ph.D Computational Biologist Genentech Research [[alternative HTML version deleted]] _______________________________________________ Bioc-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioc-devel
