Introducing OSPO-Radar: From Specs to Dashboard

Overview

OSPO-RADAR is a Sloan-funded project to help research organizations better identify, manage, and recognize their software assets.

This first webinar introduces the foundations of the project, from the D1.1 specifications to the early design of the Source Code Assets Dashboard: OSPO-Radar.

Check the specifications: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18018891
