As from my last post, in order to start a social network analysis project, the first step is to get hold of some data so that I can generate diagrams and so on.
Good news is that all the person description data for the ECS members are all in readily usable RDF form, I can easily use a sparql frontend (at http://southampton.rkbexplorer.com/sparql/)to query and get out the description about a person. These descriptions include person's name, group he belongs to and some provides interests.
Bad news is all other schools do not have these information readily available.
Next up, I need to think about:
* What programming language to use for processing and visulise the data
* Think about in what form I want the data in for :
-generating graph using graphviz
-to do some processing on the data, (how many hops an author is linked to anthoer)
Question to ask Dr Carr:
*How can I get the author cloud and author graph working for University ECS
