The project ReSUS (Reusable Software University of Stuttgart) aims to support researchers in the publishing, searching, citation and reuse of research software. For this purpose, a process shall be modeled and a platform implemented that assists the researcher in publishing as well as reusing research software.New findings in research usually build on existing knowledge. Apart from scientific publications and research data, this knowledge consists more and more of research software that was developed to solve problems, to create or analyze the data. An infrastructure to collect, curate, link and share scientific publications exists for a long time, but there is a lack of solutions for research software and its corresponding data. This is not only about archiving the software. To enable and ease the reuse of research software we need metadata models to find software, as well as methods to select and check licenses and cite a software. To enable automatic provision, the software shall be archived together with middleware and infrastructure components. To ensure findability, software and data have to be described with metadata. To choose an appropriate license for a software isn’t an easy task because the licenses of all dependent and included components of a software have to be taken into account.Within the project, a process will be modeled that offers an integrated approach for the tasks described above. Based on the TOSCA-standard, Research Object Archives (ROARs) will be modeled, administrated and published. ROARs combine data, software and licenses together with metadata and therefore contain all relevant components for provision and information for citation and findability. A license ontology, developed within the project, will give security to the researcher to choose a license for research software considering all components and dependencies. A platform, which can be integrated with existing repositories of libraries, will be developed to support the whole process and assist researchers in publishing, as well as in reusing research software together with data.

ReSUS（斯图加特大学可重用软件）项目旨在支持研究人员发布、搜索、引用和重用研究软件。为此，应建立一个流程模型并实施一个平台，以帮助研究人员发布和重用研究软件。研究中的新发现通常建立在现有知识的基础上。除了科学出版物和研究数据之外，这种知识越来越多地包含为解决问题、创建或分析数据而开发的研究软件。收集、管理、链接和共享科学出版物的基础设施存在很长时间，但缺乏研究软件及其相应数据的解决方案。这不仅仅是关于软件归档。为了实现和简化研究软件的重用，我们需要元数据模型来查找软件，以及选择和检查许可证以及引用软件的方法。为了实现自动配置，软件应与中间件和基础设施组件一起存档。为了确保可查找性，必须使用元数据来描述软件和数据。为软件选择合适的许可证并不是一件容易的事，因为必须考虑软件的所有依赖和包含组件的许可证。在项目中，将建模一个流程，为上述任务提供集成方法。将根据 TOSCA 标准对研究对象档案 (ROAR) 进行建模、管理和发布。 ROAR 将数据、软件和许可证与元数据结合在一起，因此包含用于引用和查找的提供和信息的所有相关组件。项目内开发的许可证本体将为研究人员提供安全性，以考虑所有组件和依赖性来选择研究软件的许可证。将开发一个可以与图书馆现有存储库集成的平台，以支持整个过程并协助研究人员发布以及重复使用研究软件和数据。
