Comments on: Workshop Proposal: Network Analysis & Visualization for Humanists http://newyork2012.thatcamp.org The Humanities and Technology Camp Tue, 16 Oct 2012 16:48:27 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.12 By: Chris Alen Sula http://newyork2012.thatcamp.org/workshops/workshop-proposal-2/#comment-1193 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 18:39:46 +0000 http://newyork2012.thatcamp.org/?page_id=209#comment-1193 Great question, Ben. I think I’ll start by focusing on some more background issues–how to find/create data, what kinds of things can be represented in a network, etc. This is probably useful as a standalone topic (for people who just drop in), and it often makes me rethink my datasets.

If you want to follow along with Gephi, it would help to have an Excel or csv file with two columns of data showing links from one thing to another (e.g.,
Ben Miller, CUNY Graduate Center
Chris Sula, Pratt Institute
…

Regarding size, I’ve used Gephi up to 30K points (nodes) and 100K connections (edges), but it sometimes crawls at that scale (though it should be able to handle 1M edges). Something on the order of hundreds or a thousand edges usually works nicely, and I’ll provide a link to whatever data I use in my walkthrough in case people want to follow along.

Amanda and I have played around with Gephi, but only briefly and with little success so far (though that was back in its alpha release, and I see there’s a beta out now). Looking forward to your guidance!

Are there any materials you’d advise us to bring? e.g. a preferred data sample size or format that we can follow along with?
