epinions_trust — Epinions trust network (2003)

Description

A who-trusts-whom network of the users of Epinions.com, a general consumer review website, collected by M. Richardson, R. Agrawal and P. Domingos. Members of the site could declare whether they "trust" other members; these trust relationships form the site's "Web of Trust", which was combined with review ratings to determine which reviews were shown to each user. Nodes are users, and a directed edge $i \to j$ means that user $i$ trusts user $j$. Users are identified only by anonymous numeric identifiers, stored in the node property name, and the network has no other node or edge properties.
