The paper introduces an end‑to‑end pipeline that harvests, validates, and models links between scholarly articles and their source code from journals such as JOSS, SoftwareX, and IPOL, as well as SIGMOD ARI reproducibility reports. It produces a curated set of 4,397 DOI‑repository pairs and defines two Wikidata‑based application profiles—one for articles and one for software—aligned with schema.org and CodeMeta. Using these profiles, the authors created 4,182 new Wikidata software items linked to their papers, while only 82 repositories were previously represented, and they demonstrate compatibility with the COAR Notify protocol for future live enrichment.

SpecMine is a large-scale corpus that documents Spec-Driven Development (SDD) artifacts in public GitHub repositories. It includes a broad census of 470,795 spec files from 73,030 repositories linked to 17 tools, a focused census of 98,574 Kiro layout files from 12,910 repositories, and a sweep of 5,992 pull requests across 581 repositories that modify specs. The dataset provides enriched metadata, full commit histories, parsed document structures, and over 2.4 million typed references connecting specs to code, sibling documents, PRs, branches, and issues.

The paper introduces EXYGEN, a framework that enables conversational access to large knowledge graphs by combining VoID descriptions, ShEx schemas, retrieved triples, and example question‑query pairs in a retrieval‑augmented generation pipeline. On the SciQA benchmark, this approach achieves an exact‑match score of 0.419 without fine‑tuning any large language model, and shows that larger general‑purpose LLMs can outperform smaller code‑specialized ones when provided sufficient context. To scale metadata generation for very large KGs, the authors propose a predicate‑coverage‑aware parallel graph sampling strategy that preserves structural diversity, reduces runtime by over 80× on OpenCitations Meta and GESIS, and is the only tractable method for obtaining complete metadata on ORKG.

WiCleanData is a refined version of Wikidata that eliminates type inconsistencies and constraint violations. The authors built an automated pipeline that cleans the taxonomy with language‑model assistance, aggregates type constraints hierarchically, and filters facts to ensure no type violations remain. The resulting knowledge graph is publicly available through a web interface for easy exploration and downstream use.

The paper introduces the first reproducible taxonomy for programming languages based on resource availability, categorizing 646 languages into four tiers. It finds that a small fraction (1.9%) of high-resource languages (Tier 3) generate the majority (74.6%) of tokens in major corpora, while the majority of languages (71.7%) are scarce and contribute only 1.0% of tokens. Statistical analysis confirms the extreme and systematic imbalance across tiers.

The paper introduces ADFD‑Migrate, a method that extracts a latent declarative representation of code—an annotated data‑flow diagram (ADFD)—to aid large‑scale repository migration. By using an LLM to infer the source ADFD from repository context and guiding target‑language generation with dependency‑aware chunking, the approach improves porting soundness and completeness. Evaluated on 50 Fortran repositories, the system achieves high behavioral agreement and a superior migration outcome index compared to baseline translation methods.

arXiv:2607. 18642v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mined code corpora are abundant but uncontrolled: a snippet's semantics, surface "messiness," and difficulty are whatever the wild contained; there is no known-optimal reference to grade against; and any public sample may already sit in a model's training set.
