Thank you Reshi Nawab for your answer and the article that helped a lot.

However, my question is more practical than conceptual.

I have over 1000 messages on the phpBBForum Software among students, professionals and experts. I intend to use SNA for the analysis of these interactions, however, I don't know how to build a database to use Gephi software, for example or another software that helps me to do so.

How and the structure of this kind of database? How should I organize the information?

Thanks in advance
