FRSM-17 metric: Does the software include provenance information that describe the development of the software?
Good provenance metadata clarifies the origins and intent behind the development of the software, and establishes authenticity and trust. As a type of metadata this overlaps with the metadata called for in guiding principles F2 and F4.
Source: This metric is an instance of FSRM-17, developed within the FAIR-IMPACT project. More information about the project is available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15535629
