Here are some specifications for the use cases and properties that would be nice to have in this type of tool:
Use cases:
- create a complete codemeta.json file from scratch
- aggregate existing information and add complementary information to a codemeta.json file
Properties:
- helpers while completing the form, for example a reference list of spdx licenses
- a validation mechanism after submission
- the possibility to use all the codeMeta terms and schema.org terms
- accessible from multiple platforms (web browsers or OS)
- (extra) the possibility to correct the output after validation as part of the creation process
