social network

A social network is composed by a set of actors that are related according to some criterion structure. Usually they represented as nodes symbolizing the actors and relationships as lines connecting them. The type of connection representable in a social network is a dyadic interpersonal relationship or tie.

The social network can also be used to measure social of the capital.

The social network analysis examines the social structure grafose applying the theory of identifying the entities as "nodes" and relationships as "links". The structure of the resulting graph is often a complex network. As stated, in its simplest form, a social network is a map of all relevant links between all nodes studied. One speaks in this case of "central partner" networks. Another option is to identify the network that involves a person; in this case we speak of "personal network".

Internet platforms that easy to communication between people of the same social structure are called social networking services.
