I present a CMDI profile for the description of software that enables discovery of the software and formal documentation of aspects of the software, and a proposal for faceted search in metadata for software. The profile has been tested by making metadata for over 80 pieces of software. The profile forms an excellent basis for formally describing properties of the software, and for a faceted search dedicated to software which enables better discoverability of software in the CLARIN infrastructure. A faceted search application for this purpose has been implemented.
A curation procedure is proposed to ensure that descriptions of software made on the basis of other profiles contain the relevant information in the right form and use the right vocabularies, and we created an experimental faceted search that includes software descriptions based on the WebLichtWebService profile.
