Intelligent Visualisation of Social Network Analysis Data

چکیده
Social Network Analysis (SNA) (Scott 1992) is the analysis of network data gathered in a social context. It has been used to examine social phenomena in such diverse areas as local communities, international organizations and sporting clubs. However, while the data collected by Social Network Analysts is eminently computable it has taken until relatively recently for SNA to make it’s way into the computing field. And while there is almost an abundance of empirical-analysis type programs, the methods for viewing them analytically are currently limited.

A framework, the IGCV (Identification, Grouping, Clustering and Visualisation) framework, is described to support the temporal analysis of social network data. More specifically the identification and visualisation of “traffic movement” of patterns in such networks, and how such patterns change over time. A full description of the operation of IGCV is presented, together with an evaluation of i...

Background: Semantic technologies (STs) have made machine reasoning possible by providing intelligent data management methods. This capability has created new forms of interaction between humans and STs, which is called "semantic interaction." The increasing spread of this form of interaction in daily life reveals the need to identify the factors affecting it and introduce the requirements of...
متن کاملA methodological approach to the analysis of egocentric social networks in public health research: a practical example
INTRODUCTION Research on social networks in public health focuses on how social structures and relationships influence health and health-related behaviour. While the sociocentric approach is used to study complete social networks, the egocentric approach is gaining popularity because of its focus on individuals, groups and communities. METHODS One of the participants of the healthy lifestyle ...
