ABSTRACT
Software development is considered a collaborative activity, although this collaboration may not be visible or understood among work group members or project managers. This research work proposes the identification and classification of characteristics of collaboration based on social networks properties --- centrality and density --- and on collaboration levels defined by the Collaboration Maturity Model (CollabMM). Exploratory studies in free/open source projects were conducted to help this classification.
