AĞ TOPLUMU YAKLAŞIMI İLE AKADEMİK BİR SOSYAL AĞ MODELİ İÇİN GRAF VERİ TABANI ÖNERİSİ

Öz

Son yirmi beş yılda enformasyon ve iletişim teknolojilerinde yaşanan dramatik gelişim ile toplumsal ilişki biçimlerinin bilinen yapısal formları dönüşüme uğramıştır. Castells’in Ağ Toplumu olarak ifade ettiği ve akışlar iktidarı olarak betimlediği toplumsal yapının günümüzün dijital dünyasındaki izdüşümleri olarak yorumlanabilecek online sosyal ağlar sosyalleşmenin yeni formları olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Sosyal ağlar yoluyla bilgi akışının hiç olmadığı kadar hızlı ve yoğun gerçekleştiği günümüzde, motivasyonunu bilginin üretimi ve yayımından alan akademik dünyayı da bu kapsam dışında düşünmek mümkün olmayacaktır. Bu amaçla online sosyal ağlarda bilginin sınırsız dolaşımı yoluyla bilginin demokratikleşmesi ve bilgiye açık erişim felsefesi ile örtüşen bir akademik yayın ve referans veri tabanı oluşturulmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu kapsamda geleneksel veri tabanlarının sahip olduğu kısıtların aksine sosyal ağlar gibi ağ formunda şekillenen toplulukları kolaylıkla modelleyebilmesi nedeniyle, bir graf veri tabanı platformu olan Neo4j kullanılarak bir alternatif akademik sosyal ağ modeli için veri tabanı önerisi sunulmuştur.

GRAPH DATABASE PROPOSAL FOR AN ACADEMIC SOCIAL NETWORK MODEL WITH NETWORK SOCIETY APPROACH

Öz

With the dramatic development in information and communication technologies in the last twenty-five years, known structural forms of social relations have transformed. Online social networks, which can be interpreted as the projections of the social structure that Castells describes as the Network Society and the power of flows in today's digital world, emerge as new forms of socialization. In today's world where the flow of information through social networks takes place faster and intensive than ever before, it will not be possible to think of the academic world, which is motivated by the production and dissemination of information, outside of this scope. For this purpose, through unlimited circulation of information in online social networks, an academic publication and reference database was created in line with the democratization of information and open access to information philosophy. In this context, a database proposal for an alternative academic social network model was presented by using Neo4j, a graph database platform, since it can easily model communities shaped in the form of networks such as social networks contrary to the constraints of traditional databases.
