***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.sfu.ca/~insna/ ***** Hello Socnetters, As I read more about the social networks analysis, a few questions arise about the characteristics of a relation in a social network (type, content, nature, etc.). I would really appreciate if you could help me to best understand what are the characteristics of a relation in a social network, and which ones are generally given in studies. Many thanks, Regards, Emilie Marquois _____________________________________________________________________ SOCNET is a service of INSNA, the professional association for social network researchers (http://www.sfu.ca/~insna/).
