1 Introduction
Software Heritage’s mission is to collect, preserve, and share all publicly available source
code, serving as a universal reference for software and supporting Open Science by ensur-
ing availability, guaranteeing integrity, and enabling traceability of all software contributions.
By leveraging advanced graph compression technologies, we can effectively track software
contributions from United Nations and its Agencies and shed light on the production, use, and
sharing of research software in the institution.
This report is based on data collected from public development platforms (e.g., GitHub, GitLab)
and enriched via additional metadata. In the future, we may also reference complementary in-
formation (e.g., usage/creation/sharing of software in research articles) from external sources
such as the French Open Science Monitor.
Below, we present key findings on the software production by United Nations and its Agen-
cies that is preserved by Software Heritage. Section 2 provides a bird’s eye view of the main
statistics; Section 3 analyzes contribution distributions; Section 4 covers the properties of the
projects themselves; Section 5 gives an overview of the primary programming languages; Sec-
tion 6 outlines a tentative classification of research areas; and Section 7 concludes.
Nota Bene: this report considers all projects that totalize at least 10 contribution(s) identi-
fied as coming from the institution based on the email address domain of the contributors using
the regular expression: ^[^@]+@(([A-Za-z0-9._-]+\.)*un\.org|fao\.org|icao\.in
Figure 1: Bird’s-Eye View. Total contributions, total unique projects (1157), projects active
in the last 12 months (122), projects still crawled by SWH (1105), distinct contributors (1363),
and earliest / latest institutional contribution dates (2000-01-01 – 2025-05-16). 52 disappeared
projects are nevertheless preserved in the archive.

Number of Revision Relationships
Figure 2: Distribution of the number of revision relationships (log scale). This his-
togram shows the distribution of commits or revisions for each project, on a log scale for
clarity. A few large projects often dominate, while many smaller ones have moderate or lower
activity.

projects containing at least one such marked node, and extracting number of marked nodes,
timestamp and SWHID of the first and last marked node, which serve as a proxy for analysing
the development activity across repositories.
This multi-faceted analysis offers stakeholders insight into both quantitative impact and the-
matic relevance.
8 Conclusion
Software Heritage preserves a large and diverse set of software repositories produced, used,
or otherwise contributed to by researchers at United Nations and its Agencies. By ensuring
the availability and integrity of code artifacts, it strengthens reproducibility and bolsters Open
Science initiatives. The recently introduced “on archive” citation capability further increases
visibility and recognition for software as a valuable research product.
We hope that this report, combined with the underlying data and charts, provides a helpful
overview of United Nations and its Agencies’s public software footprint and demonstrates how
sponsoring and collaborating with Software Heritage yields tangible benefits in preserving and
highlighting the institution’s software outputs.
