abstract = {Software Heritage is the largest existing public archive of software source code and accompanying development history: it currently spans more than five billion unique source code files and one billion unique commits, coming from more than 80 million software projects. This paper introduces the Software Heritage graph dataset: a fully-deduplicated Merkle DAG representation of the Software Heritage archive. The dataset links together file content identifiers, source code directories, Version Control System (VCS) commits tracking evolution over time, up to the full states of VCS repositories as observed by Software Heritage during periodic crawls. The dataset's contents come from major development forges (including GitHub and GitLab), FOSS distributions (e.g., Debian), and language-specific package managers (e.g., PyPI). Crawling information is also included, providing timestamps about when and where all archived source code artifacts have been observed in the wild. The Software Heritage graph dataset is available in multiple formats, including downloadable CSV dumps and Apache Parquet files for local use, as well as a public instance on Amazon Athena interactive query service for ready-to-use powerful analytical processing. Source code file contents are cross-referenced at the graph leaves, and can be retrieved through individual requests using the Software Heritage archive API.},

abstract = {Software evolution studies have mostly focused on individual software products, generally developed as Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) projects, and more sparingly on software collections like component and package ecosystems. We argue in this paper that the next step in this organic scale expansion is universal software evolution analysis, i.e., the study of software evolution at the scale of the whole body of publicly available software. We consider the case of Software Heritage, the largest existing archive of publicly available software source code artifacts (more than 5 B unique files archived and 1 B commits, coming from more than 80 M software projects). We propose research requirements that would allow to leverage the Software Heritage archive to study universal software evolution. We discuss the challenges that need to be overcome to address such requirements and outline a research roadmap to do so.},
