%0 Journal Article %J International Journal of Open Source Software and Processes %D 2009 %T Integrating Projects from Multiple Open Source Code Forges %A Megan Squire %K data integration %K forges %K repository %X Much of the data about free, libre, and open source (FLOSS) software development comes from studies of code forges or code repositories used for managing projects. This paper presents a method for integrating data about open source projects by way of matching projects (entities) across multiple code forges. After a review of the relevant literature, a few of the methods are chosen and applied to the FLOSS domain, including a comparison of some simple scoring systems for pairwise project matches. Finally, the paper describes limitations of this approach and recommendations for future work. %B International Journal of Open Source Software and Processes %V 1 %P 46 - 57 %8 31/2009 %N 1 %R 10.4018/jossp.2009010103
