Social and Organizational Systems (CASOS) Technical Report
CEMAP software is a wide-ranging solution to the many practical and logistical
problems that analysts face when performing the basic data processing steps
necessary for using analytic software. CEMAP transforms real-world source
data into a form that is specifically formatted to the exacting requirements
of particular social network analysis software. This report provides the
concepts important to CEMAP as well as step-by-step instructions on how an
analyst uses CEMAP as either a stand-alone or ORA/Automap-hosted interactive
system, or as an automated command-line batch system. Taking the short time
to learn how to use CEMAP, which is easy, will save a great deal of time in
one's workflow within the analytic process and will put a wealth of popular
real-world datasets within easy reach. This report guides the reader through
the major aspects of CEMAP from the perspective of the role the operator
plays in the work flow from raw-data extract, transformation, and the loading
of network data, for subsequent analysis.
