In this paper, we analyze a major part of the research output of the Networked Knowledge Organization Systems (NKOS) community in the period 2000–2016 from a network analytical perspective. We focus on the papers presented at the European and US NKOS workshops and in addition four special issues on NKOS in the last 16 years. For this purpose, we have generated an open dataset, the “NKOS bibliography” which covers the bibliographic information of the research output. We analyze the co-authorship network of this community which results in 123 papers with a sum of 256 distinct authors. We use standard network analytic measures such as degree, betweenness and closeness centrality to describe the co-authorship network of the NKOS dataset. First, we investigate global properties of the network over time. Second, we analyze the centrality of the authors in the NKOS network. Lastly, we investigate gender differences in collaboration behavior in this community. Our results show that apart from differences in centrality measures of the scholars, they have higher tendency to collaborate with those in the same institution or the same geographic proximity. We also find that homophily is higher among women in this community. Apart from small differences in closeness and clustering among men and women, we do not find any significant dissimilarities with respect to other centralities.

分析网络知识组织系统(NKOS)社区成员之间的网络结构和性别差异

在本文中,我们从网络分析的角度分析了2000-2016年间网络知识组织系统(NKOS)社区研究成果的主要部分。我们专注于在欧洲和美国NKOS研讨会上发表的论文,以及过去16年中有关NKOS的四个特殊问题。为此,我们生成了一个开放数据集“ NKOS书目”,其中涵盖了研究成果的书目信息。我们分析了该社区的共同作者网络,共产生123篇论文,共有256位不同的作者。我们使用诸如程度,中间性和紧密性中心性之类的标准网络分析方法来描述NKOS数据集的共同作者网络。首先,我们调查网络随时间变化的全局属性。第二,我们分析了作者在NKOS网络中的中心地位。最后,我们调查了该社区协作行为中的性别差异。我们的结果表明,除了学者在中心性测度上的差异外,他们与同一个机构或同一地理位置的学者合作的倾向更高。我们还发现,在这个社区中,女性的同质性更高。除了男女之间在亲密和聚类方面存在细微差异外,我们在其他中心方面没有发现任何重大差异。他们倾向于与同一机构或同一地理位置的人合作。我们还发现,在这个社区中,女性的同质性更高。除了男女之间在亲密和聚类方面存在细微差异外,我们在其他中心方面没有发现任何重大差异。他们倾向于与同一机构或同一地理位置的人合作。我们还发现,在这个社区中,女性的同质性更高。除了男女之间在亲密和聚类方面存在细微差异外,我们在其他中心方面没有发现任何重大差异。
