Abstract

The structure Internet-based social network of Nasza-klasa.pl – a huge (7.5 million users) social community portal was analyzed with respect to popular social network structural properties. We have found out that the network structure is typical for affiliation network and proposed its hypergraph representation. The temporal changes of the network structure were also analyzed.
