Culturally Infused Social Network Analysis

From Distributed Information and Intelligence Analysis Group

Social networks are used to model people and their relationships. Historically, social network analysis has focused on the structure of these relationships without due consideration of the social context within which they occur. The focus of this project is to research approaches that methodically represent culture within social networks that is transportable from one cultural environment to another. The goal is a unified framework representing cultural and contextual information along with social relationships that supports reasoining under uncertainty.
