Line 23: The '''''SoftWare Hash IDentifier''''' ('''SWHID''') is a persistent identifier used to uniquely identify a particular piece of software [[source code]] and its version. SWHID is a standard similar to the [[Digital Object Identifier\|DOI]], but is tailored specifically for software source code,<ref name="ProgrammingHistorianFr_preserving_identifying" /> compatible with versioning software such as [[git]]. An SWHID can be used to point to different components or versions of the source code of a software package.<ref name="ProgrammingHistorianFr_preserving_identifying" /> ~~This~~The SWHID is an intrinsic identifier in the sense that ~~can~~it bedescribes ~~calculated~~the software based ~~independently~~only on the software's intrinsic properties, with no reliance on an external ~~itself~~register.<ref>{{Cite web \|language=en \|title=Intrinsic and Extrinsic identifiers \|url=https://www.softwareheritage.org/2020/07/09/intrinsic-vs-extrinsic-identifiers/ \|website=Software Heritage \|access-date=2025-05-24}}</ref> == Format ==
