Domain-specific fields (Biodiversity)

We've made new domain-specific fields available in the upload form. These fields have long been available in our API as part of our collaboration with the Biodiversity Literature Repository, but only recently have we made them generally available in the upload form for everyone to use. The fields allow you to add and search DarwinCore metadata terms on Zenodo, so you can e.g. search for records related to a specific museum collection via the collection code field. The work is part of the BICIKL and Arcadia projects.

Integration with Software Heritage (in testing) and new software fields

We have implemented an integration between Zenodo and Software Heritage which is currently undergoing testing before being launched. Among the improvements are also 3 new software specific fields which has already been made available on Zenodo: repository url, programming language, development status (see the software section in the upload form). These fields were added to align with the Codemeta standard. The developments are part of the FAIRCORE4EOSC project.
