High level graph view #4

Closed cbogart closed 9 years ago

cbogart commented 9 years ago

Some global view of the graph that helps with: detecting candiates for coring/platforming (Gawer & Cusumano 2008); finding out the neighbors of a particular package (as candidates for collaboration on interoperability); understanding any high-level structure (clusters associated with subcommunites, for example).

Consider incorporating some external knowledge about packages' groupings: e.g. CRAN's "task views" are hand-curated groupings by type of task the package helps with. (Henry, Fekete, McGuffin 2007 say this is an important part of network analysis)
