Central tenet Social structure emerges from the aggregate of relationships (ties) among members of a population
Phenomena of interestEmergence of cliques and clusters from patterns of relationshipsCentrality (core), periphery (isolates), betweenness
MethodsSurveys, 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

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

What we are trying to do:Open Tools, Open Data, Open ScholarshipBuild the “Firefox of GraphML” – open tools for collecting and visualizing social media dataConnect users to network analysis – make network charts as easy as making a pie chartConnect researchers to social media data sourcesArchive: Be the “Allen Very Large Telescope Array” for Social Media data – coordinate and aggregate the results of many user’s data collection and analysisCreate open access research papers & findingsMake “collections of connections” easy for users to manage

What we have done: Open Data
NodeXLGraphGallery.org• User generated collection of
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, 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
