TL;DR
The Flink system for the extraction, aggregation and visualization of online social networks is presented and a novel method to social science based on electronic data is demonstrated using the example of the Semantic Web research community.
Abstract
We present the Flink system for the extraction, aggregation and visualization of online social networks. Flink employs semantic technology for reasoning with personal information extracted from a number of electronic information sources including web pages, emails, publication archives and FOAF profiles. The acquired knowledge is used for the purposes of social network analysis and for generating a web-based presentation of the community. We demonstrate our novel method to social science based on electronic data using the example of the Semantic Web research community.

The results indicate that the co-authorship network of scientists is scale-free, and that the network evolution is governed by preferential attachment, affecting both internal and external links, and a simple model is proposed that captures the network's time evolution.

Social NetworksHow to search a social network
612 Citations2005Lada A. Adamic, Eytan Adar
It is found that small world search strategies using a contact’s position in physical space or in an organizational hierarchy relative to the target can effectively be used to locate most individuals, but in the online student network, where the data is incomplete and hierarchical structures are not well defined, local search strategies are less effective.

Whether broadly similar results would occur if solely Web data was used rather than all available bibliometric co-authorship data is examined to examine to which extent collaboration structures visible in the Web change their shape in the same way as bibliographic collaboration networks over time.
