In this deliverable (3.2) of nfdi.sofwtare an initial concept for the exchange of metadata with other Base4NFDI services was developed. First various Base4NFDI projects were analyzed to find out which Base projects would use or produce metadata for research software. Based on this, interviews were held with users and producers to identify their needs based on common and specific metadata elements. The result of the investigation is a diagram for the exchange of metadata for research software between Base4NFDI projects.
