Trust and Open Development

Open source (OS) has raised significant attention in industrial practice and in scholarly research as a new and successful mode of product development. This paper is among the first to study open source development processes outside their original context, the software industry. In particular, we investigate the development of tangible products in so-called open design projects. We study how open design projects address the challenges usually put forward in the literature as barriers to the open development of tangible products. The analysis rests on the comparative qualitative investigation of four cases from different industries. We find that, subject to certain contingencies, open design processes can be organized to resemble OSS development processes to a considerable degree. Some practices are established specifically to uphold OS principles in the open design context, while others starkly differ from those found in OSS development. Our discussion focusses on different aspects of modularity as well as the availability of low-cost tools.

Further Development

An NLP based AI tool was developed for topic mining Christian writings of major figures from different Christian eras and movements. The text corpus chosen for text mining includes : the volumes of Augustine and John Chrysostom from the patristic period, the writings of Thomas Aquinas from the Scholastic period, the writings of John Calvin the reformer and the text corpus of sermons by George Whitefield and John Wesley that mark the beginning of the modern Christian evangelical movement and evangelicalism. The topics text mined and topics summarized include : Gospel, Salvation, Jesus Christ, Sin, Temptation, Tribulation, Pride, Lust, Envy, Joy, Hope, Charity, Marriage, Church, Heaven, Hell. They are downloadable from the link - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tG2Y36MF1ApvYnhPM_njtNvKYiv7_8RL?usp=sharing and this is expected to help Christian content developers. The link to the code of the NLP tool hosted in the GitHub repository is provided to aid further development - https://github.com/bengeof/AI-driven-Theology-Open-Development. These tools must not be viewed as threatening the role of the human in humanities research broadly and specifically in Christian theology but as empowering the human with additional powers of AI for research in the humanities in the age of Big Data.

Enterprise Interoperability can be identified on cultural, rule, process, data, software, object, social network, services, knowledge, electronic ID, cloud, and ecosystem level, whereas the challenge is the conceptual integration across those layers in a flexible way. Meta Modeling as a concept is a proven technology to enable such conceptual integration for both machine computation and human-oriented interpretation for information value creation. Hybrid Modeling is a realization approach to merge different meta models and hence enable the interoperability between conceptual models. Stability is provided by the meta modeling platform whereas flexibility is ensured by hybrid modeling via a holistic integration framework. This approach has been successfully implemented in a list of EU-research projects. This chapter introduces (a) concept models as an instrument for interoperability, (b) a meta model approach as a flexible but stable platform, and (c) hybrid modeling as an approach to flexibly compose the conceptual integration. After discussing this theoretical background, the chapter introduces different realization scenarios of hybrid modeling. Each scenario is supported differently by the underlying meta modeling platform ADOxx®. Here, the experience of a list of EU-research projects is explained and reflected to enterprise interoperability requirements. Sample solutions are introduced, showing different hybrid modeling implementations. Technical overviews of the ADOxx® meta modeling platforms are introduced and references to open development communities are provided to invite readers to realize their own modeling solutions.
