Abstract:
Social nets and their detection and creation belong to very actual subjects nowadays. Their practical use may be for instance identification of the significant individuals and, above all, closely cooperating professional teams in different areas of science and research. For detection of these nets is necessary to acquire enough input data. The ideal source of them should be WWW. Efficient usage of information from WWW however isn't quite simple. The identification of personal names is already complicated. Similarly difficult is to unambiguously identify people and find out their mutual relations which are used for social net creation. However the usability of retrieved results is considerable. Created nets would help in orientation „who's who" in given area and enable focus in on information „from the source". This contribution presents the state of the art in the area of detection of the thematic social nets and especially the process of identification of these nets based on the analysis of the WWW search engines results. The aim is to show methods applicable for preferably automatic identification and subsequent visualization of the thematically based relations among individuals. Beyond above mentioned methods the practical implementation of them is also presented and results acquired in testing.
