Sharing the badges

The digital badges obtained when assessing digital assets with SQAaaS can be shared within code and data repository platforms. Here we offer two ways of doing so, either by using a custom entry that uses the EOSC-Synergy badge image or through the shields.io common badge solution.

The specific code in Markdown is available for each of the options through the quality report as it can be seen in the image below, and throughout the current document, the specific Markdown excerpts will also be covered.

The resultant images, displayed usually through the README document, are linked to the corresponding badge metadata, accessible through Badgr page. In the following sections the different options to share SQAaaS badges are explained.

note

The only piece of information you need to change in the following examples is the URL that corresponds to your badge, which is provided as a result of the SQAaaS assessment process. The one used for the examples below is https://eu.badgr.com/public/assertions/bw3v-fVCR6eJoMjwG11afw

EOSC-Synergy badge image#

In this case, we will use a 150x116 pixel sized image so that it does not take much space in your README. The proposed solution would render as follows:

The following sections provide examples for displaying the different classes of EOSC-Synergy badges.
