The Graph Database of Everything Open: Navigating the Open Science Ecosystem w/ MOSS
summary
A live Map of Open Source Science (MOSS) and SOL database that actually links projects papers people organizations and dependencies is under construction and already maps part of the NumFOCUS ecosystem and a CZI‑scraped scikit‑learn subgraph; visualized in Kumu and moving to Neo4j migration for scale. The system combines GitHub and OpenAlex signals with a social attestations layer, supports custom impact algorithms, surfaces domain maps like astropy → astronomy and large blobs (Bioconductor), and aims to reduce abandoned niche projects. dependency and citation layers give measurable ripples.
