OSTrails Software Tools Index

The OSTrails Software Tools Index provides a curated list of software tools that support the creation, registration, and evaluation of FAIR digital objects.

It is not (primarily) intended to be used by humans, but rather by software agents that can query the index and retrieve information about the tools and their capabilities. Other tools, such as the Component Authoring Tool, speak directy to the index to retrieve information about the available tests or algorithms, or can write new information to the index about newly created tests or algorithms. The index is used by the FAIR Validator to retrieve information about the available tests and their associated metrics and benchmarks. Finally, it is also used by the Champion to look-up and provide access to both Tests and Benchmark Scoring Algorithms.

This is not intended to be a user-facing index, but rather a machine-readable index that can be queried by software agents. Other platforms and registries such as FAIR CHampion and FAIRsharing provide human-readable information about the content of this registry.
