Social Network Input DATA FORMAT for Grand-1

 

GRAND CHALLENGE question Grand-1:

Based on ALL the data available (i.e. using the data from all 4 mini - challenges) what is the social network of the Paraiso movement at the end of the time period?

 

General description 

Provide the social network using 2 tab-delimited files using the following specified format.
One file specifies the nodes and the other the links. 
In both files the 1^st row specifies the names of the variables, and the second row specifies the type of the variables.

Below we describe the specific variables we expect to find in the files for Grand-1 so we can automatically process and evaluate them.

 

 

Node File

 

Each node is a name that must be carefully spelled.

The 1^st  and 2nd rows are required.  The 1^st row should say “person”, the second row “STRING”, the rest is your data.

Sample:

 

 

Link file

 

The link file has 3 columns: the 1^st column is the name of a person (Name1) that has interacted in some manner with another person (Name2).  The link is directed from Name1 to Name2.  “Connection Source” indicates the source in which you found evidence of the connection between those 2 people.   The entry is a comma separated variable (CSV) listing of one or more of the following values CELL, WIKIEDITS, GEOSPATIAL, EVACUATION, MANIFESTO, OTHER.  Use OTHER only when necessary (e.g. if you include a person based on the fact that they share the same family name)

 

The 1^st  and 2nd rows are required and should mimic the sample below exactly, the rest is your data.
