| Abstract | In this chapter, we discuss three ways to extend the basic concept of centrality. The first extends centrality to apply to groups in addition to individual actors. This extension makes it possible to evaluate the relative centrality of different teams or departments within an organization, or to assess whether a particular ethnic minority in a society is more integrated than another. The second extends the concept of centrality to apply to 2mode data in which the data consist of a correspondence between two kinds of nodes, such as individuals and the events they participate in. In the past, researchers have dealt with such data by converting them to standard network data (with considerable loss of information). The extension to 2-mode data means that we can apply the tools and concepts of centrality directly to original 2-mode dataset. The third broadens the centrality concept into a model of the core/periphery structure of a network. With this technique we can evaluate the extent to which a network revolves around a core group of nodes. |
