一句话：提出结合 Software Heritage 档案、使用指标、依赖分析、经济估值与访谈的方法，系统评估机构对开源软件的贡献规模与影响。
论文关注如何系统评估一个机构对开源软件（OSS）的贡献规模与影响。作者提出一套方法论，将 Software Heritage 的归档数据与使用指标、依赖分析、经济估值模型以及访谈相结合，以全面刻画机构的 OSS 参与情况。该方法被应用于欧洲核子研究中心（CERN）。尽管主要依赖 commit 数据，研究仍获得 CERN OSS 参与情况的整体概览：识别出对 5 万多个项目作出的超过 600 万次提交，并指出 CERN 主导的最具影响项目。除 CERN 外，该框架可供其他组织复用来衡量和评价其 OSS 贡献。
We present a methodology to systematically assess the scale and impact of an organization's contributions to open source software (OSS). The methodology combines the archival data of Software Heritage with usage metrics, dependency analysis, economic valuation models, and interviews to comprehensively understand institutional OSS involvement. We then apply the methodology to the European Organisation for Nuclear Physics (CERN). Despite using mostly commit data, we obtain a thorough overview of CERN's OSS engagement. We identify over six million commits made to over 50,000 projects and highlight the most impactful projects led by CERN. Beyond CERN, the methodology offers a reusable framework for organizations seeking to measure and evaluate their OSS contributions.
