flickr_aminer — Flickr social graph

Description

A snapshot of the social network of Flickr, a photo-sharing website where users can follow (add as contacts) other users. The network is part of a collection of several online social networks distributed by AMiner (Tsinghua University) for research on social network integration, i.e. on identifying the accounts of the same person across different services (Y. Zhang and J. Tang); judging from the references given with the data, parts of it originate from earlier studies on linking user accounts across services (D. Perito et al., 2011; T. Chen et al., 2012). The crawling procedure is not documented. According to the ICON index, the data were collected in early 2014. Nodes are users, identified by integer IDs, and include all users listed in the source data, 869 of which have no connections. In the source data each connected pair of users is listed only once, always with the smaller ID first, and the source does not document whether the relationship is directed; the edges are therefore stored as undirected. An edge connects two users that are linked as contacts.

The network has the following properties:

  • (Node) name: the user ID in the source data.
  • (Node) username: the user name.
