YAML list structure about citation-file-format HOT 7 CLOSED

You're right, @bast, this is much better. I'll change this asap.

from citation-file-format.

Because YAML is a unordered dictionary, if we decide to have the scope key we could have

- scope: If you use this software, please cite the works below.
  type: software-code
  authors:
    - name: ...
      orcid: ...
- scope: If you use this algorithm, please cite the works below.
  type: ...
  authors:
    - name: ...
      orcid: ...

Yes - I think I like that. But now the scopes are actually ordered, no? Which would be fine.

from citation-file-format.

No, I don't think so. If you lint Raniere's example the scope entry wanders further down. If that's what you meant by "ordered"?

from citation-file-format.

Ah I see - thanks. It's fine then.

from citation-file-format.

I kind of like having the possibility of different scopes since one can reuse the work in so many different ways.

I think this would actually work pretty well. Having both message (global) and scope (reference-local) allows the user to adapt to a specific use case. Also, scope could be used for unique identification of resources by supplying a class name/URI, package name, etc.
