twitter_events — Twitter, 12 events (2013-2016)

Description

Multiplex networks of interactions among Twitter users during twelve exceptional events between 2013 and 2016, collected by M. De Domenico and coworkers: five studied by E. Omodei, M. De Domenico and A. Arenas (2015), and seven more studied by M. De Domenico and E. G. Altmann (2020). Nodes are users (whose screen names are not provided), and a directed edge $i \to j$ indicates that user $i$ retweeted, mentioned or replied to user $j$ during the event. The networks have three layers, one for each type of interaction. Mentions include the users mentioned in retweeted or replied tweets: if user A retweets the tweet "hello @C @D" of user B, the edges A → B (retweet), A → C and A → D (mentions) are created.

  • Cannes2013: the 2013 Cannes Film Festival (6 May to 3 June 2013).
  • MLKing2013: the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech (25 August to 2 September 2013).
  • MoscowAthletics2013: the 2013 World Championships in Athletics in Moscow (5 to 19 August 2013).
  • NYClimateMarch2014: the People's Climate March in New York City (19 to 22 September 2014).
  • ObamaInIsrael2013: the visit of U.S. President Barack Obama to Israel (19 March to 3 April 2013).
  • BostonBomb2013: the Boston Marathon bombing and the subsequent manhunt (15 to 22 April 2013).
  • PopeElection2013: the election of Pope Francis (13 March 2013).
  • NBAFinals2015: the 2015 NBA Finals (9 to 21 June 2015).
  • ParisAttack2015: the November 2015 Paris attacks (13 to 15 November 2015).
  • GravitationalWaves2016: the announcement of the first observation of gravitational waves (10 to 16 February 2016).
  • Sanremo2016: the final night of the 2016 Sanremo Music Festival (13 February 2016).
  • UCLFinal2016: the 2016 UEFA Champions League Final (27 May to 1 June 2016).

The networks have the following properties:

  • (Node) name and nodeLabel: the anonymous numerical identifier of the user.
  • (Edge) layer: the type of interaction: 1 for retweets, 2 for mentions and 3 for replies.
  • (Edge) weight: the number of interactions of the given type from user $i$ to user $j$ during the observation period.

The upstream data also include the time of each individual interaction, which is not included in the networks.
