An Introduction to Social Networks

Peter Rukavina

Back in the mid-1990s, when [[Dave Moses]] and I started [[Okeedokee]], the conversation that got us rolling was about how to map the sort of “who’s your father” relationships that permeate almost all conversation on Prince Edward Island.

Via Dragos comes a pointer to Introduction to social network methods, described as an “on-line textbook introduces many of the basics of formal approaches to the analysis of social networks.”

This study of what I like to call “sideways genealogy” fascinates me, and text is a terrific introduction to understanding methods for analyzing and representing social relationships.
