Hello! I am fairly new to this type of research, but I have used Gephi a bit for basic mapping / visualisation. I have searched for an answer and did not find it, so apologies if this this has been covered.
So, I am doing network analysis of case law and I am proceeding as follows. I have two csv files, one with nodes, the other one with edges. The first one has attributes relating to the case, something like:
Code: Select all
Id,Attribute1,Year,Attribute2
CaseA,JurisdictionA,1988,ReproductiveRights
The other is what case cites another and the type of citation, so that would be
Code: Select all
Source,Target,Attribute
Case1,Case2,CitTopicA
Case2,Case3,CitTopicB
Now, what I want to do is to add the name of the individual judges in the cases so as to compare it to the citation patterns. However, there multiple judges. So, how do I go about comparing that? The problem is that I don't know what type of variable that is. If I have:
Code: Select all
CaseA,JurisdictionA,1988,ReproductiveRights,JudgeA,JudgeB,JudgeC
I need to be able to find a correlation with
Code: Select all
CaseB,JurisdictionC,2001,ReproductiveRights,JudgeC,JudgeD,JudgeE
Is this possible?
Thanks a lot!
