Dataset & Context
Danish Power Elites

In this project we are going to construct and explore a network of Danish power elites derived from boards of various organisations in th country. We will construct an association network: Who is being in the same board? And first explore “basic” centrality indicators. Then identify communities and central persons within those. Finally we look at some “fancier” interactive network visualisation.
