3. It organizes this data into a standard format called a data model.
4. Then it calculates metrics that tell you about the project’s health.

Where CollectOSS gets its data
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

CollectOSS collects data from a variety of sources:

1. Raw Git commit logs (commits, contributors)
2. GitHub’s API (issues, pull requests, contributors, releases, repository metadata)
3. The Linux Foundation’s `Core Infrastructure Initiative <https://www.coreinfrastructure.org/>`_ API (repository metadata)
4. `Succinct Code Counter <https://github.com/boyter/scc>`_, a blazingly fast Sloc, Cloc, and Code tool that also performs COCOMO calculations
5. `OpenSSF Scorecard <https://securityscorecards.dev/>`_ analysis (security health metrics for open source projects)

Example of a metric: Burstiness
-------------------------------
- Burstiness is one of CollectOSS’s metrics.
