Flink: Semantic Web technology for the extraction and analysis of social networks

. Web Semantics: Science, Services and Agents on the World Wide Web, 3 (2-3): 211-223 (October 2005)

Abstract

We present the Flink system for the extraction, aggregation and visualization of online social networks. Flink employs semantic technology for reasoning with personal information extracted from a number of electronic information sources including web pages, emails, publication archives and FOAF profiles. The acquired knowledge is used for the purposes of social network analysis and for generating a web-based presentation of the community. We demonstrate our novel method to social science based on electronic data using the example of the Semantic Web research community.
