Semantic Social Networks Analysis : Towards a Sociophysical Knowledge Analysis
Résumé
In 1977, Freeman formalised generic measures of Social Networks Analysis (SNA). Then, the Web 2.0 social networks have become global networks (e.g., FaceBook, MSN). This article presents a semantic model, non probabilistic and predictive, for the decisional analysis of professional and institutional social networks. The presented multidisciplinary model, in parallel to Galam's sociophysics, integrates some semantic methods of knowledge engineering and natural language processing, some measures of statistic sociology and some electrodynamic laws, applied to the economic performance and social climate optimisation. It is currently under experimentation, in line with the Socioprise project, funded by the French State Secretariat for the prospective and development of the digital economy.
