[Moose-dev] Re: To a unified software model repository for Moose.

Our idea is to build an open repository containing a collection of models from a large group of projects (qualitas corpus), where each of these models can be annotated and expanded with analysis results. Analysis results could be anything (i.e. all classes of a certain project can be annotated with a certain metric; two classes can be related by a duplication relationship; etc.. ). The resulting "expanded models" can be queried or downloaded (useful if you want to compare the data against results of an industrial project analysis). MSE files are used as a way to import a simple version (no contributed analysis results annotations) of the project model into moose and enable new analyses.

Distributing reduced MSE models of a project does not make much sense to me.

You have to take in consideration multiple analysis requirements and build a reduced model for each of them. Would it be possible (and would it make sense) to create a web service which interprets moose queries, runs them on the specified target image and returns a serialized representation of the returned objects ? Since qualitascorpus.com already provides and maintains a good collection of java projects, we thought about reusing that valuable source of information and building the MSE repository as a complement to Qualitas Corpus.

This means that MSE files would be generated and hosted by us and source code can be downloaded from qualitascorpus.com.
