Dear all,
I'm interested in application of network analysis towards semantic web
features of SNS and especially FOAF. Do you know any research about that,
besides the article of John C. Paolillo and Elijah Wright "Social Network
Analysis on the Semantic Web:Techniques and Challenges for Visualizing FOAF"
and Jennifer Goldbeck's research about computing trust and recommendation
measures by means of FOAF:
http://trust.mindswap.org/
Actually, I'm mostly interested in sociological applications and
interpretations of the structure of FOAF networks, rather that some
computing problems with computing this networks and building visualizations.
For example, is it possible to say something about person's or whole
network's social capital after the analysis of the semantic structure of
relationships among its members?
Thanks in advance.
Best wishes,
Alexander.
