Robustness of open source community multi-project knowledge collaboration network based on structural hole theory.

ABSTRACT: Nodes in the structural hole position play a key role in the multi-project network of the open source community (OSC). This paper studies the robustness of this network based on structural hole theory. First, a semantic-based multi-project KCN is constructed, and four node types are identified: knowledge contribution nodes, knowledge dissemination nodes, structural hole nodes (SHNs) and opinion leader nodes. Second, a robustness analysis model of the edge failures of these four key nodes is constructed. Third, a simulation test is conducted on the proposed model using empirical data from the Local Motors multi-project OSC. The results show that the KCN has the lowest robustness when facing the edge failure of opinion leader nodes, followed by knowledge dissemination nodes, knowledge contri
