Enriching source code by empirical metadata

Abstract

Empirical metadata that describe activities of developers with source code are often stored as logs with only basic references to source code. These approaches deals with several problems. At first, logs are attached to whole files and it is hard to analyse the collected data. The second problem is dynamism of source code. If we have only logs about activities of developers over source code, we could not be sure that the source code still exists or it has been at changed.
