我们提出了对音乐共享和混音社区的研究结果，以量化和理解基于公地的同行生产具有审美/文化或娱乐价值的产品的结构特征。我们还就此类社区在使用“混音竞赛”方面应采用的策略提供了规范的视角，“混音竞赛”是吸引新用户创作者加入社区并提高其创意产出的流行手段。到目前为止，研究一直回避对这种“混音文化”核心内容（即混音）进行定量研究，大概是因为获得适合数值分析的相关大型数据集固有的困难，以及早期研究工作的重点是其产品服务于更多功能性目的（例如开源软件）的社区，而不是旨在娱乐或个人和艺术表达。本文为在线社区的社交网络分析文献、基于公共资源的同伴生产文献以及文化分析的研究议程做出了贡献。
We present findings from our study of a music sharing and remixing community in an effort to quantify and understand the structural characteristics of commons-based peer production for products of aesthetic/cultural or entertainment value. We also provide a normative perspective on the strategies that such communities should employ with respect to the use of 'remixing contests', which are popular means of attracting new user-creators to the community and boosting its creative output. Until now research has shied away from the quantitative study of what lies at the heart of this 'remix culture', i.e. remixing, presumably because of the difficulties inherent in attaining relevant large datasets amenable to numerical analysis and an early focus of research efforts on communities whose products serve a more functional purpose (e.g., open source software), rather than aiming at entertainment or personal and artistic expression. This paper contributes to the literature of social network analysis of online communities, the literature on commons-based peer production, and the research agenda of cultural analytics.
