  • Abstract
    In order to measure the different values of a great number of knowledge spreading in virtual communities, we build a knowledge diffusion measurement model based on information entropy. The model quantifies the knowledge entropy of different nodes in the spreading process in terms of users´ behaviors. Consequently, transmitted knowledge can be sorted by the knowledge entropy, making the measurement of knowledge values and knowledge diffusion more accurately.
