Page Information

Dies ist die Profilseite eines Benutzers. Andere Benutzer informieren sich über eine Person über dessen Profilseite (analog anderer sozialen Netzwerke). Der Benutzer verfügt in aller Regel auch über eine private Seite, die als Dashboard bezeichnet und nur durch ihn selbst benutzt wird.

Social Graph zeigt alle Organisationen und Communities an, zu welchen die Person eine Beziehung in Form einer Mitgliedschaft hat.  Andere Mitglieder dieser Organisationen und Communities werden mitangezeigt. 

Organisationen können zweistufig klassifiziert werden. Während die erste Stufe (schwarzer Hintergrund) die Dimension beinhaltet (z.B. "B2E"), zeigt die zweite (grauer Hintergrund) eine Kategorie daraus an.

Social Graph, eingebettet auf privaten Dashboard-Seiten, zeigt zusätzlich Freundschaften (in neueren Liferay-Versionen Connections bzw. Verbindungen) an.

 

Social Map zeigt die Standorte der Knoten an.

Terminology

  • Graph: Social Graph displays a network graph containing nodes and edges being connected.
  • Node: An individual, an organization, a community or a category on the graph.
  • Edge: Nodes are connected by edges. An edge represents a relationship (affiliation) between two nodes. Edges may be labelled with the type of relationship (e.g. a role name for an individual, or the direction of ordination between organization units).
  • Loose and tight affiliations: Edges between organizations may have a solid (=tight affiliation) or dotted (=loose affiliation) line stroke. Tight affiliations are regulary top/down hierarchical constructs while loose affiliations, known as Dotted Line, represents agile constructs with - for example - having undirected connections, or multiple parental elements. For a better understanding, we recommend to visit Social Graph's product page and the Use Case Army page, containing a video.
  • Categories: Organization nodes are categorized by two levels. 1st level is the dimension (B2E, B2B or B2C), 2nd level is the subordinated category. 1st level categories are labelled with black background, while 2nd level categories are displayed with a grey background.
