SoNIA is a Java-based package for visualizing dynamic or longitudinal "network" data. By dynamic, we mean that in addition to information about the relations (ties) between various entities (actors, nodes) there is also information about when these relations occur, or at least the relative order in which they occur. Our intention for SoNIA is to read-in dynamic network information from various formats, aid the user in constructing "meaningful" layouts, and export the resulting images or "movies" of the network, along with information about the techniques and parameter settings used to construct the layouts, and some form of statistic indicating the "accuracy" or degree of distortion present in the layout.
This is all somewhat ambitious, but not impossible. What else is SoNIA for? In addition, we hope that SoNIA will have other uses. Another mode of use that SoNIA supports is that of a "browser" for time-based network data. Authors. UCINET Software. UCINET 6 for Windows is a software package for the analysis of social network data.
It was developed by Lin Freeman, Martin Everett and Steve Borgatti. It comes with the NetDraw network visualization tool. If you use the software, please cite it. Here is a sample citation: Borgatti, S.P., Everett, M.G. and Freeman, L.C. 2002. NetDraw. E-Net. A Brief Introduction to Social Network Analysis by Orgnet, LLC. Social network analysis [SNA] is the mapping and measuring of relationships and flows between people, groups, organizations, computers, URLs, and other connected information/knowledge entities.
The nodes in the network are the people and groups while the links show relationships or flows between the nodes. SNA provides both a visual and a mathematical analysis of human relationships. Management consultants use this methodology with their business clients and call it Organizational Network Analysis [ONA]. ONA allows you to x-ray your organization and reveal the managerial nervous system that connects everything. To understand networks and their participants, we evaluate the location and grouping of actors in the network.
We look at a social network -- the "Kite Network" above -- developed by David Krackhardt, a leading researcher in social networks. Degree Centrality Betweenness Centrality Closeness Centrality. Social Networks.
