Thanks for the book recommendation. My interests in the computational (or evolutionary) nature of social and organizational networks have driven me to search...
Brian: thanks for the post. I also look to SNA as a tool to enhance organizational performance, in the spirit of Cross' work. But the ethical implications...
Brian, as a means to help develop your performance model, and to 'triangulate' SNA, do you see any merit in investigating whether there are signs of group...
Hi Brian, Phil, Phil.I assume you are suggesting questionnaires or content analysis beyond the SNA questions/content analysis? I suspect, depending on the...
Laurie, that's correct - for example, if we were looking at content we might want to look at phrases that would provide indicators that groups are forming,...
I was reading something about technologies that assess "sentiment" in content. would something like that help? LLL _____ From: ona-prac@yahoogroups.com...

I like the two threads you've distilled: they are simple, relevant, and actionable. To the second, I'd add knowledge (or expertise, if you prefer) to...
While the e-mail mapping may be controversial I've spoken to two government employees recently who claimed that the employment contracts they signed basically...
Actually, I believe the case law on this was established some time ago. Work emails reside on a machine belonging to the employer, and therefore the data...
Yes, that is my recollection also... reading the legalese at the end of your message John, it sounds like you should use your personal email to send messages...
Well, I'm delighted someone noted the irony! My other option is a GMail account, where I "hear" the email is kept for over 2 years and used for targeted...
Yes, John, I too understand that the legal precedent is set. However, since we deal in the grayer realms of trust (and not of legal privacy) between employer...
Hi Brian, I do tend to agree just because we can, doesn't necessarily mean we should. A government agency I was working with last year wanted to implement an ...
This came to me from a former colleague whose brother started the company. It seem like a good combination of technology with social good. ++++++++++++++ From:...
Hello all, Just wanted to see how many of you capture the average number of degrees for the nodes in a network? I have been re-reading the book on SNA and...
Dear ONA-PRAC members: Our group has been in existence for 2 years and we have over 200 members. The moderators (Patti, Bruce, and I) have had a number of ...
Good idea! What are the network questions you will ask? Since there is expertise on this list maybe we can review/edit them before sending out? Can the survey...
Leave it to Valdis to make sure that we make this a great practice exercise for all on this list! From the design through the survey and the analysis, we can...
Yes we should practice what we preach in terms of survey design. Can't promise that the survey tool has full flexibility as it is pretty new and we are relying...
This is a very good question. No answer, or simply I did not get any? The benchmarking data is a good idea. Can we work on that, or, as someone said, is a...

We're having a healthy debate at work about the differences between "Link Analysis" and SNA. I'd be interested in hearing the views of ONA-PRAC members. ...
Hi Phil, Can you expand just a little? What exactly do you mean by link analysis? I noticed this definition in Wikipedia - is this what you mean? *"Link...
Phil and Cai I too am intrigued at the difference between Social Network Analysis and Link Analysis. SNA uses links to represent the relationships between...
