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.
