email-EU

Overview

This hypergraph dataset was generated using email data from a large European research institution for a period from October 2003 to May 2005 (18 months). Information about all incoming and outgoing emails between members of the research institution has been anonymized. The e-mails only represent communication between institution members (the core), and the dataset does not contain incoming messages from or outgoing messages to the rest of the world.

This is a temporal hypergraph dataset, which here means a sequence of timestamped hyperedges where each hyperedge is a set of nodes. Timestamps are in ISO8601 format. In email communication, messages can be sent to multiple recipients. In this dataset, nodes are email addresses at a European research institution. The original data source only contains directed temporal edge tuples (sender, receiver, timestamp), where timestamps are recorded at 1-second resolution. The hyperedges are undirected and consist of a sender and all receivers grouped such that the email between the sender and each receiver has the same timestamp.

Statistics

Some basic statistics of this dataset are:

• number of nodes: 1,005
• number of timestamped hyperedges: 235,263
• distribution of the connected components:
