How to merge ?

Merge rules on software ? On source definitions ?

[JeromeBu]

Here is a proposition of data structure :

Merge would be based on priority, in SoftwareExternalSource

type Software = {
  id: string
}

type SoftwareExternalData = {
  externalId: string;
  softwareId: string; // clé étrangère
  externalSourceSlug: string; // clé étrangère
  data: "...",
  // unicité : externalSourceSlug + externalId + softwareId
}

type SoftwareExternalSource = {
  slug: string, // unique exemple: hal-science, hal-uga-science, wikidata
  kind: "HAL" | "Wikidata" | "comptoire du libre" | "Zenodo" // "Software Heritage" | "Github" | "Gitlab",
  url: string,
  priority: number, // unique, postive -> lowest number is more priority
  description: LocalizedString // apparait dans le formulaire d'ajout
}
