A social graph is a structure that illustrates the relationships and connections between users. It is based on nodes (users) and edges (interactions between them), which together form a complex network of connections. A social graph allows you to visualise and analyse how people interact with each other, find common interests and establish new contacts.

A social graph is built from a variety of data:

- Number of notes by topic: how many notes a user has created on a particular topic.

- Linked Notes: The number and quality of connections between notes on a given topic and similar topics.

- Number of Friends in Topic: How many friends a user has who are interested in the same topic and their activity.

- Likes and Reposts: The number of likes and reposts of a post to reflect its quality.

- Number of citations: When other users add your public note to theirs. This is considered the highest quality indicator.

- Number of expert citations, ranking matters

- Number of views

By analysing the social graph, you can understand how much knowledge a user has about their topic and how actively they interact with the community.

Benefits of a social graph

1. Visualization and discovery of connections: The social graph allows you to visualize and discover connections between users, identifying common interests and interactions. Visualize connections between users, making it easier to understand the structure of the network and the relationships within it. This helps create closer and more useful networks of contacts

2. Finding Experts: Social graph analysis helps to find users who are experts in certain fields.

3. Recommendations: Based on social connections, you can recommend content, contacts and groups to users that may be of interest to them.

4. Activity Analysis: The social graph allows you to track and analyze user activity, identifying key points of interaction and influence.

5. Increasing network effect: The more connections and interactions there are in a network, the more valuable it becomes for each participant.

How does the social graph work in the Conoted app?

The Conoted app uses the social graph to improve interaction between users and find relevant contacts. Here's how it works:

1. Selecting a tag in the search: The user selects the tag he is interested in in the search.

2. User ranking: Based on the selected tag, the system ranks users by their activity and contribution to a given topic. This may include the number of notes, the  quality and usefulness of the information, and the number of interactions with other users on that tag.

3. Visualization in the form of a social graph: Users are displayed as nodes connected by edges. This allows you to visualize connections and understand who the key players are in a given topic.

5. Making contacts: The user can view the profiles of other users, establish contacts with them and exchange ideas.

Benefits of using a social graph in Conoted

1. Effective search for experts: The user quickly finds experts on topics of interest to him.

2. Improved interaction: The social graph encourages greater sharing of knowledge and ideas between users.

3. Personalized recommendations: The system suggests relevant contacts and content based on connections in the social graph.

4. Support network connections: The social graph helps strengthen existing connections and establish new ones, helping to create an active community.


Conoted's use of a social graph leverages the app's collective intelligence, creating a rich and interconnected network of knowledge and contacts.
