CRI: CRD Data Archive & Collaboratory for Research on Open Source Software Development

PI和他的研究生是活跃的OSS研究人员，在e-Science门户和协作实验室设计、数据库技术、搜索、检索和数据挖掘方面经验丰富。智力价值：一个自我维持的社区资源、数据存储库和基础设施将被开发、部署和维护，以支持研究重要OSS现象的研究人员。拟议的项目将保留、扩展和共享一个独特的、独一无二的数据存储库，支持对OSS现象的学术研究；数据的其他用户包括数据挖掘、软件工程、管理、信息系统和社会科学领域的研究人员。更广泛的影响：将招募代表性不足的群体参与项目。社区资源将提高OSS研究的数量和质量，从而促进更好的决策，影响美国的经济竞争力、网络安全、政府政策以及科学网络基础设施和关键工业基础设施的设计。社区资源可以支持OSS以外的研究，进入诸如组织理论、社会科学和商业软件工程等领域，并且可以为其他研究领域的社区资源提供模型。摘要：一个大型的、独一无二的研究数据存储库服务于一个庞大且不断增长的研究社区，需要可靠的设备和研究生的支持来保存、组织和扩展其数据和服务。研究领域是一个开源软件开发，研究一个重要的但不被很好理解的现象，这个独特的社区资源将很好地服务于此。

The PI and his graduate students are active OSS researchers, and experienced in e-Science portal and collaboratory design, database technology, search, retrieval and data mining.Intellectual Merit: A self-sustaining community resource a data repository and infrastructure supporting researchers studying the important OSS phenomenon will be developed, deployed, and maintained. The proposed project will preserve, extend and share a unique one-of-a-kind data repository supporting scholarly research on the OSS phenomenon; additional users of the data include researchers in the fields of data mining, software engineering, management, information systems and social science.Broader impact: Under represented groups will be recruited for participation on the project. The community resource will enable increased quantity and quality of research on OSS that could promote better decisions affecting US economic competitiveness, cyber-security, government policy, and the design of scientific cyberinfrastructure and critical industrial infrastructure. The community resource may support research beyond OSS, into areas such as organizational theory, social sciences, and commercial software engineering, and may provide a model for community resources in other research domains.Summary: A large one-of-a-kind research data repository serving a large and growing research community, needs reliable equipment and graduate student support to preserve, organize, and expand its data and services. The research area is an open Source Software development that studies an important but not well-understood phenomenon will be well served by this unique Community Resource.
