Abstract :
This paper presents a comprehensive study of the state of the art in Social Networking Analysis and examines the impact of content analysis and the effects of semantics in social networking analysis research. We propose a taxonomy of current approaches, classifying them into the following main categories: 1) graph-theoretic approaches, 2) applications of semantic web technologies and emergent semantics modelling, and 3) data mining and analytics. The purpose is to increase awareness of the social networking analysis community about different ongoing efforts, which not only focus on the network aspect of social networks, shed some light into different approaches and advance the discussion about potential future directions.
