This is an implementation of schema.org SoftwareSourceCode.

In Stencila Schema it is used for describing source-code artifacts as creative works, interoperating with schema.org while fitting into Stencila's richer document and execution ecosystem. It complements, rather than replaces, the code block and executable node types used for code inside documents.

Key properties include programmingLanguage, codeSampleType, runtimePlatform, softwareRequirements, and targetProducts, with broader metadata inherited from CreativeWork.

SPDX package source metadata: Approximate software-metadata analogue for describing source artifacts and their dependencies, though SPDX has a different focus and data model.
