Discussion Paper: Network and Concept Maps for the Blogosphere
Bruns, Axel and Kirchhoff, Lars and Nicolai, Thomas and Wilson, Jason A. and Saunders, Barry J. and Highfield, Timothy J. (2008) Discussion Paper: Network and Concept Maps for the Blogosphere.
Abstract
While qualitative evidence for the networked patterns of discussion, debate, and deliberation in the blogosphere is readily available, it is more difficult to establish a solid quantitative picture of blog-based topical discussion networks and their cluster patterns. Large numbers of blogs (and individual blog posts, links, and comments) are likely to be involved in a quantitative study of blog-based discussion patterns. Hence, automated data collection and analysis is necessary.
