I am studying a number of empirical networks and will have to find a clear way of illustrating various structures and measures of centrality to an audience that may have very little knowledge of graph theory.
I would like to illustrate the various concepts with a popular model similar to the Medici network, but using a directed preferential growth network. I am not too worried about other structural traits for now (weakly / strongly connected, centralized, decentralized etc.) but it would very nice if it were salient to policy / political scientists or economists. Most ideal would be a communication network.
Any examples would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks Kenth. I thought about using the Enron dataset, but if any other ideas come up, I'd appreciate it.
I'm not sure how useful it would be to you, but the "Enron corpus" (the vast collection if e-mails among Enron employees before the collapse of the company) is available here: http://homes.cs.washington.edu/~jheer/projects/enron/ .
It's a very large communications network.
هل يمكن ربط الاداره المركزيه للارشاد الزراعى بمعهد بحوث الارشاد الزراعى ومعاهد المركز ربط الكترونى لتفعيل دور الادارة المركزيه للارشاد وقطاع الارشاد الزراعى بالوزاره.....ماهى اهم مقترحاتك؟
Mohamed - thanks for the suggestion. Depending on the circumstances that sounds like something worth looking at.
The research question I have been looking would look at comparing online social media activist networks (Twitter esp.) to internal organizational networks.
For my current purposes, I am merely looking at some test data to demonstrate basic characteristics of influence in a communication network. I think the Enron case works find, although something more mundane would be even better.
