Abstract:

   Space networking research increasingly relies on a heterogeneous
   ecosystem of software, datasets, experimental platforms, reference
   implementations, and operational research assets.  These resources
   have historically been developed independently by different research
   groups, agencies, and projects, making discovery, comparison,
   interoperability, and reuse difficult.  Existing registries typically
   catalogue tools individually but provide limited guidance on their
   functional role within the research lifecycle.

   This document proposes a typology for research infrastructures
   relevant to the Space Research Group (SPACERG).  The proposed
   taxonomy groups resources by the research function they serve,
   independently of their implementation technology or project origin.
   The typology provides a common vocabulary for describing software and
   non-software research assets, supports the organization of community
   registries, and facilitates interoperability, reproducibility, and
   long-term maintenance of research infrastructures.  The
   classification is intended to evolve as new classes of research
   resources emerge.  The typology is implemented by a machine-readable
   registry of research resources maintained by the research group.
