• Central tenet – Social structure emerges from – the aggregate of relationships (ties) – among members of a population
• Phenomena of interest– Emergence of cliques and clusters – from patterns of relationships– Centrality (core), periphery (isolates), – betweenness
• Methods– Surveys, interviews, observations,
log file analysis, computational analysis of matrices

SNA 101• Node
– “actor” on which relationships act; 1-mode versus 2-mode networks• Edge
– Relationship connecting nodes; can be directional• Cohesive Sub-Group
– Well-connected group; clique; cluster• Key Metrics
– Centrality (group or individual measure)• Number of direct connections that individuals have with others in the group (usually look at
incoming connections only)• Measure at the individual node or group level
– Cohesion (group measure)• Ease with which a network can connect• Aggregate measure of shortest path between each node pair at network level reflects
average distance– Density (group measure)
• Robustness of the network• Number of connections that exist in the group out of 100% possible
– Betweenness (individual measure)• # shortest paths between each node pair that a node is on• Measure at the individual node level
• Node roles– Peripheral – below average centrality– Central connector – above average centrality– Broker – above average betweenness

What we are trying to do:Open Tools, Open Data, Open Scholarship
• Build the “Firefox of GraphML” – open tools for collecting and visualizing social media data
• Connect users to network analysis – make network charts as easy as making a pie chart
• Connect researchers to social media data sources• Archive: Be the “Allen Very Large Telescope Array”
for Social Media data – coordinate and aggregate the results of many user’s data collection and analysis
• Create open access research papers & findings• Make “collections of connections” easy for users to
manage
![Page 25: 2014 TheNextWeb-Mapping connections with NodeXL](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070520/58f9b3c6760da3da068bd982/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Goal: Make SNA easier
• Existing Social Network Tools are challenging for many novice users
• Tools like Excel are widely used• Leveraging a spreadsheet as a host for SNA
lowers barriers to network data analysis and display

network graphs, datasets and annotations
– Collective repository for the research community
– Published collections of data from a range of social media data sources to help students and researchers connect with data of interest and relevance

What we want to do: (Build the tools to) map the social web• Move NodeXL to the web: (Node[NOT]XL)
– Node for Google Doc Spreadsheets? – WebGL Canvas? D3.JS? Sigma.JS
• Connect to more data sources of interest:– RDF, MediaWikis, Gmail, NYT, Citation Networks
• Solve hard network manipulation UI problems:– Modal transform, Time series, Automated layouts
• Grow and maintain archives of social media network data sets for research use.
• Improve network science education:– Workshops on social media network analysis– Live lectures and presentations– Videos and training materials
