By adopting the UN Open Source Principles, the archive moves beyond storage to actively champion security, diversity, and inclusivity as the foundation for global digital commons.
2025 milestones: from SWHID becoming an ISO standard to scaling the Archive with Kraken and expanding our global mirror network.
Research relies on fragile software. Experts discuss the crisis of “software rot,” and the role of open source and artificial intelligence.
Data librarian Fanny Sébire and Software Heritage Ambassador Bertrand Néron detail their collaboration at the Institut Pasteur. They explain how their complementary skills are being used to drive a cultural shift, moving research software from a secondary artifact to a verifiable scientific output through standardized dual archiving.
