29 Jun 2010 | | Abstract: | The study of networks has grown into a substantial interdisciplinary endeavor
across the natural, social, and information sciences. Yet there have been very
few attempts to investigate the interrelatedness of the different classes of
networks studied by different disciplines. Here, we introduced a framework to
establish a taxonomy of networks from various origins. The provision of this
family tree not only helps understand the kinship of networks, but also
facilitates the transfer of empirical analysis, theoretical modeling, and
conceptual developments across disciplinary boundaries. The framework is based
on probing the mesoscopic properties of networks, an important source of
heterogeneity for their structure and function. Using our method, we computed a
taxonomy for 752 individual networks and a separate taxonomy for 12 network
classes. We also computed three within-class taxonomies for political, fungal,
and financial networks, and found them to be insightful in each case. | | Source: | arXiv, 1006.5731 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
