Hi Gilad,

For the social meaning of a k-core, I proposed an interpretation of k-core
in the context of social network of a blog.  You can see my papers here:

*Alvin Chin* and Mark Chignell. "Identifying Communities in Blogs: Roles for
Social Network Analysis and Survey
Instruments<http://www.inderscience.com/search/index.php?action=record&rec_id=14243&prevQuery=&ps=10&m=or>".
International Journal of Web Based
Communities<https://www.inderscience.com/browse/index.php?journalID=50>.
Inderscience Publishers, Vol. 3, No. 3, 2007, pp. 343-365

*Alvin Chin* and Mark Chignell. ""Finding Evidence of Community From
Blogging Co-Citations: A Social Network Analytic Approach". In Proceedings
of the IADIS International Conference on Web Based Communities
2006<http://www.iadis.org/wbc2006>,
San Sebastian, Spain, February 26-28, 2006

Hope that helps.
