Entopia provides SNA Maps
Entopia is a content management system I first looked at at KMWorld in 2002. I spoke with one of the developers, and asked about whether the software constructed network maps of people based on the documents that they created or interested in. Igor Perisic, Entopia’s research director, indicated an interest in the topic of social network analysis and the potential for Entopia to create maps based on data that the software already collected.
Imagine my surprise at KMWorld last week when I saw a demo, not just of a prototype, but of a completed module added to Entopia and announced last week! Of course, the network map produced by Entopia only provides a suggestion of the potential social connections — but a good starting point for finding the hubs, connectors, and holes.
