Project Sonar
Project Sonar is a social network analyzer. It is flexible, extensible and easy to embed into exisiting social network web applications. Project Sonar lets you visualize a social network by applying mathematical functions to the network graph.
Project Sonar is a GPL licensed web-application to analyze social networks. It is developed at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. It is written in Java and Scala. It can be deployed into any Java Servlet Container.
The analyzer maps data from a relational database into a graph structure and allows you to calculate centralities for the nodes and edges of the resulting graph. This enables you to extract structural data from the social network you are analyzing, such as interconnectivity of users, distance of users to others or every other information you can compute on the network data.
Project Sonar 1.0.0 Released
Project Sonar 1.0.0 is now available. You can download the war archive and the source from the download page or from our github site.
Sonar on MS SQL 2008
Just got Project Sonar up and running upon a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 data base on the JumpIn! Developer's Camp held by Microsoft in Feusisberg/Switzerland (Zurich area). You may have to alter some of the mapping files to get it running, but it basically works fine.
This ESPACIALLY means that Sonar is runnable on MS SQL Azure so you can actually run Project Sonar IN THE (data base) CLOUD.
Project Sonar Online
The project sonar website is now online, together with the 1.0.0 RC3 release. We'll provided additional installation and configuration tutorials before we release 1.0.0 final. If you don't figure out the way Project Sonar needs to be configured, just wait for the final release. If you want to help us with writing an installer, don't hesitate to contact us at projectsonar.dev@googlemail.com.
