Summary

In this chapter, we covered a lot of ground in understanding how and when to use dynamic networks, and how to implement them in Gephi. Specifically, we discussed the following concepts which have prepared you for effectively creating your own dynamic networks.

We learned how and when to use DNA to view your network data. Next, we addressed how dynamic topology networks differ from dynamic attribute networks, and how to effectively prepare and implement both types in Gephi. We also noted how these two forms can be combined in a single dynamic graph.

Next, we discovered how to use Gephi's timeline functionality to maximize the effectiveness of all types of dynamic networks. Finally, we discussed using GEXF to create dynamic network files outside of Gephi.

Next, we'll look at moving your network analysis beyond the Gephi desktop in Chapter 9, Taking Your Graph Beyond Gephi. We'll examine different methods to export your Gephi network graphs to both static- and web-based...
