Network Workbench NAN Talk and Demo March 27th, 2006 Bruce Herr SLIS, Indiana University, IUB
Network Workbench NWB is a portal for network science that promotes, tracks, enables, and teaches about network science. It is a workbench for network scientists.
Network Workbench • Vital Information: • Funded by a 3-year $1.1 million NSF grant • Established to create a workbench for network scientists • PIs are Katy Börner, Albert-László Barabási, Santiago Schnell, Alessandro Vespignani, Stanley Wasserman, and Eric Wernert • Targeting network science researchers, practitioners, and students Supported in part by the NSF IIS-0513650 award.
Network Workbench • Software Team: • Team Lead: Wexia (Bonnie) Huang • Developer: Ben Markines • Developer: Bruce Herr • Algorithm Developer: Santo Fortunato • Algorithm Developer: Cesar Hidalgo
Network Workbench • Parts of the Network Workbench portal: • Research Tool – A flexible large-scale analysis, modeling, and visualization toolkit • SciMaps – Knowledge domain visualization • Bioinformatics research portal • Index of current papers in network science • Learning environment for new and future network science students • Access to diverse datasets • More to come…
Network Workbench • NWB Research Tool: • Built with the IVC Software Framework • Eclipse RCP-based framework • An empty shell for integration of diverse plug-ins • NWB core will be tested for biomedical, scientometrics, and physics research • Will be runnable over the web, on the desktop, and on the desktop with a back-end server
Network Workbench Demo NWB Research Tool
Network Workbench • SciMaps.org Features: • A tool to track and map science • Uses bibliography files to find who is influential and what areas are hot • Based on a paper written by Colin Murray, Weimo Ke, and Katy Börner entitled “Mapping Scientific Disciplines and Author Expertise Based on Personal Bibliography Files” • Presents exemplar maps of science
