Wikipedia Page Network 01 – standard
This recipe is designed for Wikipedia Article-Article networks (1.5 degrees) imported with the MediaWiki Page Network importer. All relevant steps to conduct a full-scale social network analysis are performed. Content analysis is run on the Content column containing the first paragraphs of the respective page. The graph shows an image and a label for every page in the network.
Vertex: Wikipedia article page
Edge: link to mentioned articles on page
Vertex size: Betweenness centrality
Group clustering algorithm: Clauset-Newman-Moore
Group labels: Top 10 most frequently used words
Sentiment language: English
Layout algorithm: Harel-Koren Fast Multiscale
Box layout algorithm: Group-in-a-Box, Treemap
Wikipedia Page Network 02 – large
This recipe is designed to visualize large Wikipedia Article-Article networks (2.0) degrees) imported with the MediaWiki Page Network importer. The graph shows an image and a label only for pages with high Indegree.
Vertex size: Indegree
Group clustering algorithm: Clauset-Newman-Moore
Layout algorithm: Harel-Koren Fast Multiscale
Box layout algorithm: Group-in-a-Box, force-directed
Wikipedia User Network 01 – standard
This recipe is designed for Wikipedia User-User networks imported with the MediaWiki Page Network importer. Text analysis is run on the Comment column. The graph shows a disk for every user in the discussion.
Vertex: Wikipedia User
Edge: Comment
Vertex size: Betweenness centrality
Group clustering algorithm: Clauset-Newman-Moore
Group labels: Top 10 most frequently used words
Text analysis: Top words/word pairs
Layout algorithm: Harel-Koren Fast Multiscale
Box layout algorithm: Group-in-a-Box, Treemap
