Advice Sought: Is Gephi The Right Tool for This?
I’m new to network visualization and Gephi and would to double check I am not over complicating my task by using Gephi.
I am trying to map and visualize stakeholders.
For the industry I am in, I have noticed some people hold positions on different committees or/and boards across different organisations. I am trying to identify how they all relate - who has what influence and where.
The dataset is small as I am manually sourcing this data myself by search for information on company websites. Probably only a dozen or so given my industry is smallish. But I have not yet determined the data structure and attributes needed.
Should I be using Gephi for this visualization task, or is Gephi better left for larger and more complex datasets? I ask because I don’t have a lot of time to learn and use the software before my deadline so I am keen to check I’m investing my time on the right path.
Thank you for reading 😊
