Software developers use various software repositories in order to interact with each other or to solve related problems. These\r\nrepositories provide a rich source of information for a wide range of tasks. However, one issue to overcome in order to make\r\nthis information useful is the identification and interlinking ofmultiple identities of developers. In this paper, we propose a Linked\r\nData-based methodology to interlink and integrate multiple identities of a developer found in different software repositories of a\r\nproject as well as across repositories of multiple projects. Providing such interlinking will enable us to keep track of a developer�s\r\nactivity not only within a single project but also acrossmultiple projects. The methodology will be presented in general and applied\r\nto 5 Apache projects as a case study. Further, we show that the few methods suggested so far are not always appropriate to overcome\r\nthe developer identification problem.
