This matrices are part of a study that was conducted at Coipuco, in Chile, Southamerica, between 1968 and 1970. The data was collected by Milan Stuchlik. It has been recognized as one of the first studies in Chile and latinamerica using social network analysis (Ortiz and Espinosa-Rada, forthcoming). The complete work was published as a book by Stuchlik (1976), which described in more detailed the complete etnography.
data(activity_mapuche)data(activity_mapuche)
A 22 X 31 matrix of daily activities done by 22 Coipucans (January- March 1969). Random selection of 31 days of them.
There were seven different activities added to the matrix. 0 represent no information. 1: no work content (trip to town, sickness, rest, etc). 2: individual work (with domestic group). 3: medieria. 4: co-operate work of members of two ot more domestic groups (mingaco, vuelta de mano, medieria with both partners working). 5: hired work, paid services. 6: informal help. 7: left for Santiago.
These are the 31 days selected by the researcher. Each number represent one day of the month.

This matrices are part of a study that was conducted at the Hawthorne Works of the Western Electric Company in Chicago that began in 1927 until 1932. From the so called "First Harvard School of Networks" (Freeman, 2004). Through observational and interview material was explored the degree and kind of social participation of each individual in the Bank Wiring Observation Room.

This data was collected for the research of Epstein published in 1969. It shows the egonetwork of Margaret, and how the gossip get trough those alters. In the visualization Margaret and her husband are both represented as the same person in the middle of all the concentric circles. Then, in the matrix every tie to Margaret, it means if from/to her husband too. There are five matrices with information about the same people. Plus, one list of the circle in which each of those people was identified.

This data was collected by the research of Festinger, Stanley and Back (1950). They look into how human factors influenced in the interconnections made by people leaving in the same building. They studied two projects of housing inside the M.I.T. residential area (when those were starting to been constructed as part of the university). Those two project were the first one, isolated from other residential areas, which made them self-contained units to explore their objetive. The book problematize, between other things, the way in which is better to represented complex interconnections between people living in the same location. They works with two cases: Tolman Court and Howe Court. The matrix in here represent the interconnections among the people in Howe court.

Wayne W. Zachary collected through observational data from 1970 to 1972. The study followed a university-based karate club, in which a factional division led to a formal separation of the club into two organizations. The study follow a conflict between the club president, John A., and Mr. Hi over the price of karate lessons. From a factional confrontation, the entire club become divided into two organizations "pulling" apart the network of friendship ties. A edge was drawn if two individuals consistently were observed to interact outside the normal activities of the club (karate classes and club meetings). Therefore, an edge is drawn if the individuals could be said to be friends outside the club activities.
data(karate_club)data(karate_club)
A list of two square matrices
Existing matrix: Relationships in the club shortly before the fission
Capacity matrix: The relative strengths/wealnesses of the existing edges in the network. Contexts in which a pair interacted.
Only 34 individuals are presented from a total of near 60 members. However, the other 26 members did not interact with other club members outside the context of meetings and classes, and did not belong to the factions. Most quit their study of karate because of the political conflict.
The capacity matrix has a scale applied to the edges of contexts in which a pair interacted:
- 1. Association in and between academic classes at the university.
- 2. Membership in Mr. Hi's private karate studio on the east side of the city, where Mr. Hi taught nights as a part-time instructor
- 3. Membership in Mr. Hi's private karate studio on the east side of the city, where many of his supporters worked out on weekends.
- 4. Student teaching at the east-side karate studio referred to in (2). This is different from (2) in that student teachers interacted with each other, but were prohibited from interacting with their students.
- 5. Interaction at the university rathskeller, located in the same basement as the karate club's workout area.
- 6. Interaction at a student-oriented bar located across the street from the university campus.
- 7. Attendance at open karate tournaments held through the area at private karate studios.
- 8. Attendance at intercollegiate karate tournaments held at local universities. Since both open and intercollegiate tournaments were held on Saturday, attendance at both was impossible.

Bruce Kapferer was one of the members of the so called "Network School of Manchester" (Freeman 2004). He collected between September 1964 and January 1965, in Zambia (then Northern Rhodesia), observed data of a dispute between mine employees of the Anglo-American Corporation's Zambia Broken Hill Development Company, who are engaged in surface work in the Cell Room of the Electro-Zinc Plant of the mine. The network represent the relationships of 15 workers that spend all their working time in the vicinity of Unit 3. However, there were also other eight workers not reported in the matrix that spent their working time between the three units. The study followed the dispute between two workers, Abraham and Donald.
data(miner_dispute)data(miner_dispute)
Matrices and some attributes of the workers
Mutual sharing of information, gossip, opinions etc.
Institutionalized tribal joking and joking behaviour which is not part of such a recognized tribal joking relationship.
Practice of some employees' assisting others with their specific tasks in the work context.
Observed behaviour of workers performing services for each other such as the collection of drinking water for others and giving of cigarettes and food.
Links during the dispute, in which '1' are unpliex bonds and '2' multiplex relationships.
Reticulum, Span, Density, Star Multiplex, Zone Multiplex, Occupations, Tribe, Age and Religion (only considering the attributes that appears in the matrices)
Abraham shout Donald to slow down his working:
"The normal clamour and hum of the Cell Room is suddenly broken by Abraham who shouts across to Donald at Stand IV, "Buyantanshe (Progress), slow down and wait for us." A hush now settles on the Unit. For a while Donald takes no notice and Abraham calls "Buyantanshe" once more. This evoke a reaction and Donald retorts that he is not to be called by his nicknames as he already has a proper name. Abraham replies that he only knows Donald by his nickname, "Buyantanshe". His blood up, Donald shouts, "We young men must be careful about being bewitched." Abraham assents, "You are quite right, you will be bewitched if you don't respect your elders." Donald is not almost beside himself with rage, and goes straight to lodge a formal protest... "(Kapferer 1969: 191-192)
The managements imposes a restriction on the work speed that was believed to regulated work more efficiently. If the workers finished their jobs early, they could be allocated to another work that extend his working time for the double.
The data are the direct *interactions* within the network before the dispute ('conversational_exchange', 'joking_exchange', 'job_assistance', and 'personal_service'), the *structural* dimensions ('reticulum') and the direct links during the dispute ('cell_room')
The reticulum (i.e. network structures) is a typology created by Kapferer combining *Span*, *Density*, *Star Multiplexity*, *Zone Multiplexity*. Numbers that are above the median are '+' and those which are below are '-'.
- Span: Number of links out of the total viable links operating between the actors observed
100*(E+L)/S
where, E=number of direct links between Ego and other individuals in Ego's reticulum, L=the number of links between each of the individuals to whom Ego is linked and S=the toal number of links between all individuals in the situation.
- Density: Same as Kephart (1950) but excluding Ego's direct relationships.
100*(Na/((N-1)/2))
Where Na= the number of actual links, and N=total number of persons in the network.
- Star Multiplexity: Ego's direct link to members of his reticulum.
- Zone Multiplexity: Ties connecting each of the individuals in a reticulum, excluding Ego's direct links to them.

This data was collected in 1936 from ethnographic studies performed by A. Davis, B.B. Gardner and R. Gardner, together with Elizabeth Stubbs Davis and J.G.St. Clair Drake. From the so called "First Harvard School of Networks" (Freeman, 2004). It consists of two incident matrices. The first matrix is an informal group of 18 women attending 14 events. The second matrix is a different group of 6 women attending 9 events. The dates and social events were reported in Old City Herald and the names were reported utilizing interviews, the record of participant-observers and guest lists. The two groups are divided according to race categories, and the cliques are differentiated between core, primary and secondary members within one of the groups.
