graphing his relationships

There are multiple digital tools for graphing all types of networks and analyzing them according the researcher’s purposes. In this case, we have used Gephi, a free and open-source for data analysts and humanists keen to explore and understand graphs. Although its use is much more complex than other platforms (such as Visone, TheVistorian, Tableau Public and Cytoscape), Gephi offers a wide variety of tools to process and manage large amounts of data, being one of the most complete graphing tools in Digital Humanities for networking.

Hay múltiples programas digitales que permiten realizar y graficar infinitos tipos de redes según los propósitos del investigador. En esta ocasión, se utilizó Gephi, una herramienta gratis y de acceso libre para analistas de datos y humanistas que quieran explorar, administrar y comprender la lógica de los grafos. Si bien su uso es bastante más complejo que otras plataformas (como Visone, TheVistorian, Tableau Public y Cytoscape, por ejemplo), la amplia variedad de herramientas de que dispone para procesar y manejar grandes cantidades de datos, lo convierte en uno de los programas más completos para trabajar redes en Humanidades Digitales.
