[ESIP-ResearchArtifactCitation] RRIDs

[Daniel Katz]

I've had lots of discussions with Anita B. (from SciCrunch <https://www.scicrunch.com/>, which manages RRIDs) about them. We've had fairly strong disagreements about the role of RRIDs for software, but mostly come to the agreement that they are ok to use for software packages (not versions but overall concepts - all versions) in the life sciences.

Other disciplines have other PIDs that they use for software, which is confusing and difficult.

This is unlike data, where DOIs have become standard.

For more on repository and registry practices related to software, see https://scicodes.net/ and https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.13117
