Hi Yanuar, You might want to take a look at my paper, "Web Graph Analysis in Perspective: Description and Evaluation in terms of Krippendorff's Conceptual Framework for Content Analysis," which considers numerous measurement and validity issues for the Issue Crawler software and web graph analysis in general. Hope it is useful: http://farrall.org/papers/webgraph_as_content.html You'll also find Rogers himself to be quite responsive.

Hi,
Has anyone here ever used the Richard Rogers' Issue Crawler software ( http://www.govcom.org/ | http://www.issuecrawler.net)? I am trying to use it to map Indonesian NGOs/CSOs to evaluate interlinking among their websites to understand more about their relationship with their donors and issue/concerns for a section in my PhD thesis.
If so, I need information me about statistical tests which is well suited for use with Issue Crawler output? Particularly for evaluating differences of network centrality among subsets by domain of sites in the network. (As I am aware, the output of IC includes an actor list of core network and core with periphery).
Thanks for any comments and suggestion.
Yanuar
