Abstract
We seek out to investigate the social networks manifested in weblogs. Our dataset, derived from an initial list of URIs, consists of 3.9M files in XML or RDF format, totaling over 400M statements in RDF. We continue by applying well-known network analysis algorithm to parts of the derived net- work. Our experiments show that links analysis algorithms benefit from input in a common, structured data model.
