Definition

Social graphs In the current Web 2.0 or social Web era, users’ intensive engagement in social networking and content sharing applications results in the formation of a massive amount of new associations daily among the actors involved. The types of such associations vary, depending on the application at hand, and may correspond to either explicit or implicit relationships invoked by users’ actions.

Introduction

Associations formed in the context of social networking applications are often multiway; i.e., they involve multiple entities (e.g., user A commenting on post P of user B) and are more precisely captured in a generalized graph structure (i.e., hypergraph) with its (hyper)edges connecting more than two...
