Utilities for the analysis of the GMANE email list database
Project description
This project delivers helper classes for the analysis of the GMANE email database.
Functionalities are based on physics articles on interaction networks: * Stability in human interaction networks: primitive typology of vertex, prominence of measures and activity statistics: http://arxiv.org/abs/1310.7769 * A connective differentiation of textual production in interaction networks: http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.7309 * Versinus: a visualization method for graphs in evolution: http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.7311
With core concepts of 1) analysis of topological structure; 2) analysis of textual production; 3) visualization of evolving structures. Activity distribution along time and among participants are also approached through specific routines and indirectly through 1), 2) and 3).
Ideally, this package should ease: * Downloading GMANE email list data. * Building elementary data structures with downloaded data. * Analysis of data through complex networks and NLP criteria. * Visualization through diverse layout methods.
