The proportion of users and companies using open source continues to grow. The size of open source software market is growing rapidly not only in foreign countries but also in Korea. However, compared to the continuous development of open source software, there is little research on open source software subject classification, and the classification system of software is not specified either. At present, the user uses a method of directly inputting or tagging the subject, and there is a misclassification and hassle as a result. Research on open source software classification can also be used as a basis for open source software evaluation, recommendation, and filtering. Therefore, in this study, we propose a method to classify open source software by using machine learning model and propose performance comparison by machine learning model.

Typical software is implemented around functional elements, and design elements are considered as additional concepts. However, the design elements of software play an important role in assisting intuitive interpretation of functions in addition to aesthetic functions. In assessment and valuating the current software, it is difficult to derive the objective price because the evaluation criteria for design factors are ambiguous. Therefore, in this study, we derive the key evaluation factor of design factor in software assessment and valuation which can reasonably judge unit price for design effort in software development. As a result, we can indirectly estimate the efforts by distinguishing page design, screen design, main screen and core screen design, and other external icons and design.

This study examines the implications of an appraisal system based on Article 119 of Korean Copyright Act, especially the appraisal of computer program works, by reviewing the amicus curiae system of the United States. Although the amicus curiae system is not exactly a target contrasted with the Korean appraisal system, it is meaningful to compare them in various aspects. The amicus curiae system is viewed positively for its function of providing information during litigation, supporting the court’s understanding of specialized fields, and providing opportunities for the socially disadvantaged to participate. As for software appraisal system under the Korean Copyright Act, on the other hand, more active participation is demanded in the dispute resolution process. Thus, through comparison with the amicus curiae system, this study considers the degree of appraisal involvement, the level of activeness in appraisal, the appraisal by expert groups, and the issue of appraisal costs.
