[BUG] RO-Crate export missing MUST fields

[floWetzels]

The investigation object in the RO-Crate export does not necessarily have a license and name field, however, they are required by the RO-Crate specification.

Could the gitlab CI detect an existing license and insert it into the arc export command? @j-bauer

There are some available APIs to query against:

• https://github.com/licensee/licensee
• https://docs.github.com/de/rest/licenses?apiVersion=2022-11-28

When searching for license scanning and gitlab this popped up:

• https://github.com/licensee/licensee

[j-bauer]

Yes, this can be done in the CI-Pipeline. Can you point me to an example RO-Crate containing a license?

[HLWeil]

I think we don't have any example yet, @j-bauer. But as I said I could insert this as an argument in the arc-export tool, so you would only need to provide this when calling the export

name part done but license missing? @floWetzels

[floWetzels]

Correct, PR #488 changed headline to name in Investigations. Licenses are still not handled at all, as far as I know.

I guess we should also change headline to name for studies for consistency. Also, studies can be seen as their own datasets, so I guess it makes sense for them to have a name on their own. There is no field in assays though that can be mapped to name. What do you think, @HLWeil?

[HLWeil]

Yup makes sense to change them to name 👍

Would leave the Assay as is atm, maybe we actually align it more with the study, see nfdi4plants/ARC-specification#86

Copying my comment from the related discussion thread

I think we can slowly introduce licensing to ARCs in a few steps:

1. To produce valid RO-crates in the short term, just use a "All rights reserved by the authors" text value per default. As repositories >without a LICENSE file are per default 'ALL RIGHTS RESERVED' licensed anyways, this does not break anything and makes something that has been implicit so far more explicit.
2. Make license a mandatory property on the Investigation profile mirroring the requirements of the RO-crate base spec
3. Update the ARC Scaffold specs with a way to include (optional?) licensing, e.g. via a LICENSE file
4. enable parsing, recognizing, and writing licenses and exporting them with correct identifiers

I think 1 is easy to solve in this repo right now, 2-3 will take some revision cycles as it changes specs, and 4. is a little more effort implementation-wise in this repo.

Correct, PR #488 changed headline to name

In the future, please first update the profile, i am currently aggregating needed changes on the profile and specs, and the codebase being ahead of the profile is something i did not expect.

That's not the case though, see nfdi4plants/isa-ro-crate-profile#36

[kMutagene]

Yeah i Messe up looking at the Release branch sorry
