Abstract

Social networks have become an on-line mechanism for individuals to express their feelings, emotions and perspectives on a wide variety of topics and events. They have also become resources for researchers who are interested in sentiment based analysis. There is a wealth of information made available via application programming interfaces (APIs) by popular social networks. This paper discusses a prototype system to enable automated opinion based analysis of social network data for evaluation of the public social conscience of user provided topics and events.
