Based on discussion in Section 3.4 of A&P google doc

• There is a bibtex software type, but a lot more is needed around it to make it truly useful.
• For example, the DataCite Content Resolver in 3.4 returns a bibtex item of type @misc for software, and this seems likely to be the case for other tools as well.
• Also, there are needs around how a bibtex entry of type @software is processed. Currently, there is no specific driver set up in standard.bbx, it uses the one defined for @misc. See #48 (comment) for more info.
• Journal and conference-specific class files might also need to be updated to be able to properly process @software entries
