NASA HAS SOFTWARE ASSETS ACROSS ALL ADAP RESEARCH AREAS; HOWEVER THIS SOFTWARE IS NOT ALWAYS EASY TO FIND AND THAT WHICH HAS BEEN USED IN RESEARCH GENERALLY IS NOT CITABLE IN A TRACKABLE WAY. A SEARCH IN ADS FOR KEYWORDS "NASA" AND "SOFTWARE" CURRENTLY TURNS UP 0 ENTRIES IN ADS. THOUGH SOFTWARE.NASA.GOV AND CODE.NASA.GOV NOW EXIST IT IS HARD TO DETERMINE THE VALUE OF THESE SOFTWARE PACKAGES TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO DEMONSTRATE THE WIDER USE OF THESE PRODUCTS. WE PROPOSE TO MODIFY THE EXISTING ASCL INFRASTRUCTURE TO ACCOMMODATE KEYWORDS AND TO SEARCH NASA SOFTWARE REPOSITORIES AND OTHER NASA RESOURCES ACROSS ALL ADAP DISCIPLINES TO EXTRACT ANALYSIS TOOLS AND REGISTER THOSE USED TO GENERATE ASTROPHYSICS RESEARCH RESULTS IN THE ASCL WITH APPROPRIATE TAGS (KEYWORDS). AS ASCL IS INDEXED BY ADS AND WEB OF SCIENCE THESE NASA SOFTWARE PACKAGES WILL BECOME MORE WIDELY DISCOVERABLE NOT JUST BY THE ASTROPHYSICS COMMUNITY BUT ACROSS OTHER DISCIPLINES AS WELL ENABLING RE-USE IN ASTRONOMY AND OPENING UP THE POSSIBILITY OF USE IN OTHER DISCIPLINES. CITATIONS TO ASCL ENTRIES ARE TRACKED BY ADS (AS WELL AS OTHER RELEVANT INDICES SUCH AS WEB OF SCIENCE AND GOOGLE SCHOLAR) PROVIDING ONE MEASURE OF THE USEFULNESS AND VALUE OF THE SOFTWARE AND THE EFFORT AND FUNDING THAT WENT INTO CREATING IT. THE CITATIONS ALSO PROVIDES AN INCENTIVE FOR CODE AUTHORS TO SUBMIT AND INDEX THEIR SOFTWARE WE WILL TAG THESE ENTRIES WITH THE KEYWORD "NASA" AND THE MISSION NAMES WHICH COMBINED WITH THE "SOFTWARE" KEYWORD ALREADY APPLIED TO ALL ASCL ENTRIES IN ADS WILL ALLOW USING THE POWERFUL ADS SEARCH ENGINE TO FIND NASA-FUNDED ASTROPHYSICS RESEARCH-RELEVANT SOFTWARE REGARDLESS OF WHICH MISSION OR PROJECT PRODUCED THE SOFTWARE OR BY MISSION. WE WILL ALSO ADD THIS METADATA TO EXISTING ASCL ENTRIES FOR NASA CODES AND PROVIDE A SEARCH OPTION IN THE ASCL TO FIND NASA CODES. LINKS THAT ALREADY EXIST IN ASCL ENTRIES PROVIDE THE MEANS TO EASILY BRING UP THE CODE RECORD INDEXED IN ADS WHICH SHOWS CITATIONS MADE USING THE ASCL ID.
