Software General information about a software resource. the 'software' element contains general information about a software resource that is being documented. This is field is intended to give information for software tools that are needed to interpret a dataset, software that was written to process a resource, or software as a resource in itself. It includes the version, the programming language, and the location of the software, along with the source code information or binary file information. The information provided in the subelements are specific to software resources and extend the Resource type. Please see the examples for each subelement of the 'Software' type. The 'software' element was introduced into EML 2.0, however it was derived from the eml-software module in EML 1.4. Version number The version number of the software resource.
