Software is increasingly essential in most research, and much of this software is developed specifically for and during research. To make this research software findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR), we need to define exactly what FAIR means for research software and acknowledge that software is a living and complex object for which it is impossible to propose one solution that fits all software.
软件在大多数研究中变得越来越重要,而且许多此类软件是专门为研究而开发的,并且是在研究过程中开发的。为了使这种研究软件具有可查找、可访问、可互操作和可重复使用(FAIR)的特性,我们需要确切定义FAIR对于研究软件意味着什么,并认识到软件是一个有生命的复杂对象,不可能提出一种适用于所有软件的解决方案。
