About : What is the OSORI project?
Name
OSORI (Open Source DB Integration) means “Open Source sounds!” It expresses the will to create a better open source ecosystem through voluntary contribution and collaboration.
Goal
The goal of the OSORI project is to contribute to building a more transparent and reliable open source ecosystem by integrating and disclosing open source information data (e.g. license and any restriction to use), so that anyone can easily check it out.
Vision
- We build a DB schema that efficiently integrates open source information data, of which is easy to manage and distribute consistently.
- We increase the reliability of the data through cross-validation and disclose it for its complimentary usage by anyone.
- We expand volume of the data through voluntary contributions by providing an environment where anyone can easily contribute their data to the OSORI project,
