FAIRsharing record for: FAIR Principles for Research Software - F1.1. Components of the software representing levels of granularity are assigned distinct identifiers

This FAIRsharing record describes: 'F1.1. Components of the software representing levels of granularity are assigned distinct identifiers' requires the use of identifiers for more than just the software project (often synonymous with “software concept” or “software product”) as this improves findability by enabling components to be assigned distinct identifiers e.g, a software library, and a function in that library. The relationship between these components is embodied in the associated metadata. These principles do not prescribe which granularity levels should be assigned identifiers, as this is likely to be implementation-specific.
