Welcome to the VOSON Project

The Virtual Observatory for the Study of Online Networks (VOSON) Project is based at the Australian Demographic and Social Research Institute, The Australian National Univeristy. We aim to advance the Social Science of the Internet through new empirical research into online networks and the development of associated e-Research tools.

The VOSON System is web-based software for the collection and analysis of online network data and incorporates web mining, data visualisation, and social network analysis (SNA). VOSON-sns is a Drupal module for collecting and analysing SNA data from a Drupal social network site.

• Access the VOSON System. Note that the VOSON System currently only works with the Firefox browser (Internet Explorer will not work!). Further, note that as a guest user, you will only be able to access limited functionality. Read here for instructions on using the VOSON System as a guest user.
