social_dimensions — BlogCatalog, Flickr and YouTube friendships with groups (2009)

Description

Friendship networks of three social media websites, with the group memberships of the users, collected by L. Tang and H. Liu (Arizona State University) to study collective behaviour and the prediction of user attributes ("social dimensions"), and distributed by the Social Computing Data Repository (originally at Arizona State University, now at Syracuse University). In all networks, nodes are users, and an undirected edge connects two users who are friends (contacts) on the website. The group memberships of the users (in groups of interest of the site, selected by the authors) are given as a node property, and serve as labels in classification tasks.

  • blogcatalog: bloggers of the blog directory BlogCatalog (10,312 users, 333,983 friendships, 39 groups).
  • flickr: users of the photo sharing site Flickr (80,513 users, 5,899,882 friendships, 195 groups).
  • youtube: users of the video sharing site YouTube (1,138,499 users, 2,990,443 friendships, 47 groups; only 31,703 users belong to some group).

The networks have the following properties:

  • groups: the identifiers of the groups the user belongs to (the names of the groups are not given in the source data).
