Thematic vs. social networks in web 2.0 communities: A case study on Flickr groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
L’objectif de cet article est d’étudier les groupes d’utilisateurs sur le site web “2.0” Flickr, pour déterminer s’ils constituent de réelles “communautés” ou bien des clusters à visée essentiellement thématique. Nous décrivons un cadre méthodologique pour l’analyse de réseaux d’utilisateurs permettant de mesurer si un groupe donné est plutôt thématique, social ou les deux. Des résultats illustratifs sont donnés sur un échantillon de 450 groupes comportant environ 500 membres chacun.
