Abstract

The scale-free network shown in the small world phenomenon indicates that our human society consists of a small number of people who play the role of hubs linked with many nodes (persons) and a large number of people as nodes linked with few nodes. From our analysis of a large-scale online community - SourceForge.net - which has a large number of developers and projects, we have found that SourceForge also exists as a scale-free network. That is, only a minority of developers joins many projects and has rich links with other developers, while the majority joins few projects and has very limited social relations with others. The goal of our study is to build a system that supports knowledge collaboration in a large-scale online community of software development projects. In this paper, we discuss the challenges of supporting knowledge collaboration in such a large online community that is a scale-free network and then introduce the prototype system called D-SNS (dynamic social networking system).

在软件开发项目的大型在线社区中，使用社会网络支持知识协作

小世界现象所显示的无标度网络表明，我们的人类社会是由少数人作为枢纽与许多节点(人)联系在一起，而大量的人作为节点与少数节点联系在一起。通过对大型在线社区SourceForge.net的分析，我们发现SourceForge也是一个无标度的网络。也就是说，只有少数开发者参与了很多项目，与其他开发者有着丰富的联系，而大多数人参与的项目很少，与他人的社会关系非常有限。我们研究的目标是建立一个支持大规模在线软件开发项目社区中的知识协作的系统。在本文中，我们讨论了在这样一个无标度网络的大型在线社区中支持知识协作的挑战，然后介绍了一个名为D-SNS(动态社交网络系统)的原型系统。
