Open Science can be seen as a movement that has been spread out by the scientific community of all areas. In this movement, practices that seek to facilitate the sharing of research artifacts are considered. Possible artifacts include articles, data, ...

Non-profit organisations (NPOs) are one type of open data intermediaries connecting different actors in the open data ecosystem. They perform a number of activities, from requesting the government to open up the data to application development. Such ...

In this paper, we will focus on improving the quality of open data offered through open data portals by engaging with citizens using open source tools. To do so, we will evaluate current open source solutions from the data engineering field, selecting ...

Open hardware and open source software platforms bring benefits to both implementers and users in the form of system adaptability and maintainability, and through the avoidance of lock-in, for example. Development of the RISC-V Instruction Set ...

Motion Capture systems are crucial in many fields, and Mobile Robotics is one of them. This paper describes an Open Source robotic framework to standardize the use of motion capture systems called MOCAP4ROS2. This framework features a layered ...

Block-based languages have been used as a facilitator to teach programming to newcomer and end-user programming students. Another alternative is to abstract the programming domain by using educational robots. Such approaches face some challenges. Block-...

This article studies open-source 3D printer manufacturers’ business models, as well as the strategies into which these models fit. To do so, we use the concepts of business model innovation and specific capabilities. The analysis of the particularities ...

We examine how a diverse global readership assigns trust to Wikipedia articles, and the strategies they use to assess Wikipedia’s credibility. Through surveys and interviews, we develop and refine a Wikipedia trust taxonomy that describes the ...

Motivation. Digital commons is an emerging phenomenon and of increasing importance, as we enter a digital society. Open data is one example that makes up a pivotal input and foundation for many of today’s digital services and applications. Ensuring ...

Motivation: Society’s dependence on Open Source Software (OSS) and the communities that maintain the OSS is ever-growing. So are the potential risks of, e.g., vulnerabilities being introduced in projects not actively maintained. By assessing an OSS ...

Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) enables large-scale reuse of preexisting software components. The main drawback is increased complexity in software supply chain management. A common approach to tame such complexity is automated open source compliance, ...
