Delicious User-Tag Bipartite Network
The user-tag network of the social bookmarking service Delicious, as the Koblenz Network Collection (KONECT) distributes it as delicious-ut: 301,186,579 timestamped edges between 833,081 user nodes and 4,512,099 tag nodes, each recording that a user tagged a URL with a tag, timed from 31 August 2003 to 30 December 2007. KONECT notes the network is incomplete (meta tag #incomplete).

Analytics
The full graph has 5,345,180 nodes; this view shows the 1,000-node sample the pipeline drew for display. Node size is centrality, colour is community.
Computed over the full corpus. Degree assortativity: exact — networkx's degree assortativity (Pearson correlation of the degrees at the two ends of every edge; directed: out-degree of the source against in-degree of the target), computed with DuckDB Bridge bottleneck count: exact — biconnected components of the undirected graph (NetworKit) Connected components: exact — connected components (NetworKit) Density: exact Reciprocity rate: exact (DuckDB) Top 10 centrality hubs: exact — full degree count (DuckDB)
