CROSSMINER is an EU-funded project that mines data from various sources like source code, documentation, and configuration files to build a knowledge base. It provides recommendations to users through IDE plugins and web dashboards. The project continues the work of the OSSMETER project and involves research teams from Europe developing tools like CrossSim for detecting similar projects and CrossRec for library recommendations.

3.  CROSSMINER is a EU-funded research project (H2020 horizon)
 It is the continuation of another EU-funded research project: OSSMETER
 The project involves research teams from all over Europe to address
specific concerns and specialties:
 Configuration management (puppet, docker..),
 NLP (Natural Language Processing)
 Deep Code Analysis
 Integration with major forges
 Software dashboards, recommendations & IDE plugins..
 Sustainability for the project is achieved with the creation of an Eclipse
project to foster development and develop community.
