Research Agenda for Studying Open Source II: View Through the Lens of Referent Discipline Theories
In a companion paper [Niederman et al., 2006] we presented a multi-level research agenda for studying information systems using open source software. This paper examines open source in terms of MIS and referent discipline theories that are the base needed for rigorous study of the research agenda
Looking before leaping: Creating a software registry
What lessons can be learned from examining numerous efforts to create a
repository or directory of scientist-written software for a discipline?
Astronomy has seen a number of efforts to build such a resource, one of which
is the Astrophysics Source Code Library (ASCL). The ASCL (ascl.net) was founded
in 1999, had a period of dormancy, and was restarted in 2010. When taking over
responsibility for the ASCL in 2010, the new editor sought to answer the
opening question, hoping this would better inform the work to be done. We also
provide specific steps the ASCL is taking to try to improve code sharing and
discovery in astronomy and share recent improvements to the resource.Comment: 11 pages; submission for WSSSPE2. Revised after review for
