5 Stars of Software?

• Do we need a 5 stars for software? Existence – there is accurate

metadata that defines the software

Availability – you can access and run the software

Openness – the software has an open permissible license

Linked – the related data, dependencies and papers are indicated

Assured – the software provides ways of assuring its “correctness”
