Yesterday, I had a chance to look at the current development in the area of social networking. I conclude the following:
One way of doing a project in social networking can be build a software to extract the network relations between people in a repository/database, hence use those extracted information to facilitate expert finding, visualisation of the repository and the academic network.
In doing so, there are many challenges: find and extracting a researcher's profile from a web page, researcher name disambiguation, topic modelling
There are some one off development for the social network extraction from a particular database, ArnetMiner(www.arnetminer.com) is an example.
In the scope of this project, I can develop an extension to the eprints repository providing similar functionality to arnetminer.
