A note on the terminology X Y
A “node” (also called a vertex, plural vertices).
An “edge” (or a tie, or a link…)
A directed network (the direction of the relation matters)
An undirected network (the direction of the relation does not matter)
A weighted network (the edges have a “strength” represented by a numerical value)
3
Y was born in … Y’s marital status is … Y’s latitude is … Y’s longitude is …
Nodes attributes (NB: edges can have attributes too!)
