The Software Metadata Recommended Format Guide (SMRF) describes and represents metadata elements identified by the Software Preservation Network that are appropriate to describe software materials in the context of a wide range of collections. SMRF aims to be adaptable, so that it can be used in different contexts and systems across libraries, museums, archives, and repositories. It is not meant to be exhaustive; instead SMRF is meant to provide a framework for cultural institutions and collections to determine which metadata to capture, and how to capture it, for their own collections
