 DataCite Metadata Schema
 ------------------------
 
-The DataCite Metadata Working Group published the DataCite Metadata Schema

 CodeMeta
 ========
 
-`CodeMeta <https://codemeta.github.io/>`__ is an exchange scheme for general
-software metadata and reference implementation for JSON for Linking Data
-(`JSON-LD <https://json-ld.org/>`_).
 
-A ``codemeta.json`` file is expected in the root directory of the software
-repository. The file can look like this:
+`CodeMeta <https://codemeta.github.io/>`__ provides a common metadata vocabulary
+for software that supports research, citation and interoperability across
+platforms. It is currently being used in major initiatives such as
+`FAIRCORE4EOSC <https://faircore4eosc.eu>`_ to make research software FAIR
+(Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).
+
+Using existing standards such as the Schema.org types `SoftwareApplication
+<https://schema.org/SoftwareApplication>`_ and `SoftwareSourceCode
+<https://schema.org/SoftwareSourceCode>`_, as well as JSON for Linking Data
+(`JSON-LD <https://json-ld.org/>`_), CodeMeta identifies precisely the version
+used in scientific and other research, thereby enabling the reproducibility of
+results.
+
+A :file:`codemeta.json` file is expected in the root directory of the software
+repository. The file might look like this, for example:
