Glossary
- Social Network:
-
A network formed by a group of actors and their interactions. It is often represented as a graph
- Vertex (Node):
-
A fundamental unit of a social network. Can be featureless or can be associated with values, concepts, or classes of objects
- Edge (Link):
-
A fundamental unit of a social network that connects two vertices or nodes. Can be directed or undirected
- Sociogram:
-
Also known as node-link diagram. A graphical representation of a social network, often attaching a glyph or geometric figure to each node and a line segment or curve between the glyphs connected by an edge
- Node Degree:
-
Number of connections of a node in a network. In a directed graph, it can be decomposed in two components, the in-degree and out-degree of a node
- Betweenness:
-
A measure of importance of a node, defined as a function of the shortest paths passing through the node. A similar measure, called the edge betweenness, exists...
