Abstract

Data Analysis and Visualization is very important for big organizations. When social network data grows rapidly, it becomes difficult to analyse and visualize the data and perform complex comparisons. Various Data Analysis and Visualization tools are used to overcome this problem. The research provides a comparative study on popular visualization tools -Gephi, Cytoscape, SocNetV and yEd that could be used in the analysis of large datasets. Comparison study is categorized based on their significance-basic functionalities, network types, graph layouts, input file formats, graph attributes. Researcher uses denotation to measure social network analysis and visualization tools based on attributes.
