Based on discussion in Section 1 (and Section 3.3) of A&P google doc

We have multiple types of citation files now: codemeta.json, citation.cff, CITATION files as proposed/used by CRAN.

  • What guidance can we provide users, if any?
  • Can we provide information on tools or methods for translation between these files?

I would suggest "translation tools" as out-of-scope (#80). The authors of those formats already offer conversion options to BibTeX (#71). Hence, the "funnel" seems to have has a clear direction, while the need for interconversion isn't.

I agree with @katrinleinweber that 'translation tools' are out-of-scope.
The guidance on this subject should be to include one or more metadata files to describe the content and to facilitate citation.

The writing group thinks we need to mention this topic, though maybe we don't need go into too much detail.

Perhaps add a table that says what these are, what the uses are (and links to them).

@cm-j0nes to suggest changes in Section 3.3 and maybe Section 1
