Federated and decentralized metadata system

A federated and decentralized metadata system and its application to open source software package origin, license and vulnerabilities metadata sharing and curation.This publication describes a new system and approach that supports decentralized and federated metadata aggregation and sharing to remove data silos, distribute control, improve availability and enable distributed and social review over this metadata.Such a system is designed to effectively allow large scale sharing and exchange of metadata using open systems and to support the efficient curation, and peer review of the metadata through self-organizing networks of reputable or trusted peers based on social networking.This system supports decentralized and distributed metadata collection and federated multi-aggregation of the metadata to avoid single points of control, avoid walled gardens and exclusive gated access, or the lack of availability due to system failure or shutdown of a central system with a goal to improve availability, resilience of the system while lowering the overall effort and compute cost required to achieve these results

Non Vulnerable Dependency Resolution

This publication describes a new method to resolve software package vulnerable version ranges and dependency version constraints at the same time, such that you can obtain a resolved software package version tree matching the blended constraints of functional and vulnerability requirements in order to provide non-vulnerable and up-to-date software code

Software semantic provisioning actually reusing software

Delivering component-oriented architectures is a well-established trend in software engineering and development. Assessing software reuse scenarios goes much beyond the usual "build vs buy" dilemma that so often occurs in early stages of a software process: scouting, comparing, choosing and integrating the right set of components meeting project's requirements is still an ad-hoc and error-prone task, performed by developers with little or no frameworks and tools to support them. This paper describes the SSP (Software Semantic Provisioning) project, funded in its early stages by Google™ Inc., developed during the Google Summer of Code™ 2007 program, and incubated by the Eclipse Software Foundation; the project aims to provide an ontological description of the software domain to underlie a semantic web framework to support developers in scouting and provisioning software components. A prototypical RESTful semantic repository, and an Eclipse plug-in consuming the repository services have been implemented and will be discussed
