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...
I encounter "link analysis" when working with law enforcement and counterterrorism clients. Links analysis, from my outsider perspective, is linking together ...
For that matter what makes SNA and / or ONA distinctive from Network Analysis? Is it purely to do with the goal of the analysis - insight into social systems...
Not sure where my reply went ... I'll have another go, sorry if it subsequently appears! As Valdis mentions, link analysis is used by law enforcement and ...
As Valdis mentions, link analysis is a term used by law enforcement and Intelligence agencies. At its most basic, people use tools such as i2 Analyst's...
As I think I posted here last year, or maybe Patti did, ONA was created by Gerry Falkowski, when his IBM clients [both internal and external, squirmed at the...
I don't think I knew that Gerry story, but I like it. We named this group ONA-PRAC so that we could distinguish ourselves from the greater world of social...
Perhaps I'm just being cynical, but some usage of the "link analysis" term stems apparently from the unfortunate privacy associations that are made when...
A little Monday humor... in light of our recent discussion on the terms which include "network analysis" & "link analysis" you folks may find this funny. My...
As a term of art LA is at least a decade old, probably more like 15 years. I've seen a paper out of the Intelligence Community from the mid-90s that uses it....
Dear friends We´d like to have one of you who lives in Europe to tell us about best practices in utilization of social networks in government and public ...
Hello all, I am a newbie to ONA and would like to introduce myself. I am a sofware developer who recently came out of the "black world" where I created several...
Welcome Mike! I am somewhat surprised that you folks "behind the green door" did not examine what was done commercially and in academia. It is easy for you to...
Valdis, I could not agree with you more about the intel community no being more aware of what is already available commercially and in academia. Working in a...
Mike, Have you seen the write-up on "human terrain teams" in WIRED? Where you involved with this effort? ... http://tinyurl.com/28utez A quick, easy and...
Mike: I echo Valdis' greeting and welcome you to the big "outdoors", you'll find a wide range of ideas and opinions in this community and it'll be interesting ...
Mike: since you've been involved with software development I wanted to reply to your post. I also work developers, and my dissertation was on SNA with...
Valdis, I did see that article and I think it is a very good indicator of SNA's acceptance within the DOD. I wasn't aware of that effor nor do I know what...
Hi Paul, Is the "Creating Business Value through Social Network Analysis" webinar still an option? I can't find it on the training site. Thanks Kathleen...
