Network Expansion

A Network Expansion expands an existing Network. A Network Expansion clusters an existing Network to generate new nodes and links to provide further insights.

The are two types of Network Expansions:

• Custom - need to create a configuration to define the expansion.

• Default - they are pre-configured and can be run without modification. You can refine the configuration to suit your requirements.

The Custom Expansions include:

• Link Aggregation - groups links to create a new aggregated link that includes a calculated strength, count or neighbours in common.

The Default Network Expansions include:

• Community Detection - by examining the links to identify a similar network of neighbours. It does not detect friendship or organisation alignment.

• Topics by Key Phrases by grouping key phrases

• Email Threads

See Manage Configurations for more information on managing configurations, including opening, creating, renaming, copying, exporting, and importing configurations.

To apply a Network Expansion to a Network, see Expand the Network.

The Community Detection examines Person nodes to identify a similar network of neighbours (Persons and Organisations) by examining the following links:

• Colocation with a Person

• Colocation with an Organisation

• Relationship

• Position-organisation

• Communication

It does not detect friendship or organisation alignment.
