  Broad efforts are underway to capture metadata about research software and
retain it across services; notable in this regard is the CodeMeta project. What
metadata are important to have about (research) software? What metadata are
useful for searching for codes? What would you like to learn about astronomy
software? This BoF sought to gather information on metadata most desired by
researchers and users of astro software and others interested in registering,
indexing, capturing, and doing research on this software. Information from this
BoF could conceivably result in changes to the Astrophysics Source Code Library
(ASCL) or other resources for the benefit of the community or provide input
into other projects concerned with software metadata.
