EgoNet-UIUC: A Dataset For Ego Network Research

In this report, we introduce the version one of EgoNet-UIUC, which is a dataset for ego-network research. In literature, an ego-network is defined as a network around an individual node, which contains relationships between the individual node and its neighbors and the relationships among the neighbors. Specifically, we collected the 230 ego networks from Linkedin during 2013. In total, there are 33K users (with their attributes) and 283K relationships (with their relationship types). We name the dataset as EgoNet-UIUC, which stands for Ego Network Dataset from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In this report, we will explain how we collect EgoNet-UIUC in Section 2, describe EgoNet-UIUC in details in Section 3, and provide instructions about how to obtain EgoNet-UIUC in Section 4.
