Visual Analysis Tool for Bipartite Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
To find hidden features of co-authoring relationships, we focused on drawing techniques for bipartite graphs. We previously developed a drawing method called “anchored maps”, which is used to depict bipartite graphs visually. In anchored maps, some nodes are restricted to certain positions, but others are left to be arranged freely. In this study, we used our method to depict co-authoring relationships as anchored maps. The maps revealed certain co-authoring relationships. Anchored maps can help us discover important features that we cannot find when using only bipartite graphs that have a free layout.

Ontology is a requirement engineering product and the key to knowledge discovery. It includes the terminology to describe a set of facts, assumptions, and relations with which the detailed meanings of vocabularies among communities can be determined. This is a qualitative content analysis research. This study has made use of ontology for the first time to discover the knowledge of vaccine in Ir...
متن کاملIntegrating software packages for the analysis of biological pathway networks
Interactions at the cellular level are essential for maintaining the fundamental life processes in biological systems. The relationships that are established due to the biochemical reactions occurring within the cells often give rise to extremely complex network structures that may be conveniently represented by bipartite graphs; such networks are often known as biological pathway graphs (BPGs)...
متن کاملBiMAT: a MATLAB(R) package to facilitate the analysis and visualization of bipartite networks
The statistical analysis of the structure of bipartite ecological networks has increased in importance in recent years. Yet, both algorithms and software packages for the analysis of network structure focus on properties of unipartite networks. In response, we describe BiMAT, an objectoriented MATLAB package for the study of the structure of bipartite ecological networks. BiMAT can analyze the ...
متن کاملBasic Notions for the Analysis of Large Affiliation Networks / Bipartite Graphs
Many real-world complex networks actually have a bipartite nature: their nodes may be separated into two classes, the links being between nodes of different classes only. Despite this, and despite the fact that many ad-hoc tools have been designed for the study of special cases, very few exist to analyse (describe, extract relevant information) such networks in a systematic way. We propose here...
متن کاملVisual Analysis of Bipartite Biological Networks
In life sciences, the importance of complex network visualization is ever increasing. Yet, existing approaches for the visualization of networks are general purpose techniques that are often not suited to support the specific needs of researchers in the life sciences, or to handle the large network sizes and specific network characteristics that are prevalent in the field. Examples for such net...
