There's a very interesting draft report (open for comment till 1 November) from a workshop that the National Institutes of Health sponsored in May 2014 on issues involved in locating, citing and reusing software in the biomedical community; obviously this is tied in to issues that include data reuse and the reproducibilty of results and should be of broad interest within the CNI community. A short background summary and a pointer to the report are at:

Many thanks to Kaitlin Thaney at the Mozilla Science Lab  for the pointer.
