NFDI Network Analysis / NFDI Netzwerkanalyse

This project is about the Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (NFDI). It analysis its connections between entities and visualizes those on a map. Node size indicate the amount of participation in consortia. Weight of edges indicate the amount of collaboration between entities within consortia.

Plots

There are five different kind of plots.

• all: This shows the whole network of entities. Only universities and entities with at least three consortial participations are labelled.
• TU9: Highlighting the universities that are part of TU9
• EXU: Highlighting all the universities with the status "Exzellenzuniversität"
• NHR: Highlighting members of the "Nationales Hochleistungsrechnen"
• Applicants: Highlighting the entities that have the role "applicant" for at least one consortium.

Data 

See the link below to the data repository. 

The data used for the network has been taken from Wikidata using two queries:
- `data/wikidata-edges.sparql`
- `data/wikidata-nodes.sparql`

The results have been annoted with additional information regarding TU9, EXU,
NHR affiliations. 

Visualization

See the link below to the data repository.

We used `Gephi 0.10.1` for the visualization. The `.gephi`-file is stored at
`data/`. You find all maps as layers in `maps/nfdi-network-analysis-map.svg`.
