Stanford Network Analysis Project

Stanford Network Analysis Platform (SNAP) is a general purpose network analysis and graph mining library. It is written in C++ and easily scales to massive networks with hundreds of millions of nodes, and billions of edges. It efficiently manipulates large graphs, calculates structural properties, generates regular and random graphs, and supports attributes on nodes and edges. SNAP is also available through the NodeXL which is a graphical front-end that integrates network analysis into Microsoft Office and Excel. The SNAP library is being actively developed since 2004 and is organically growing as a result of our research pursuits in analysis of large social and information networks. Largest network we analyzed so far using the library was the Microsoft Instant Messenger network from 2006 with 240 million nodes and 1.3 billion edges. The datasets available on the website were mostly collected (scraped) for the purposes of our research. The website was launched in July 2009.

斯坦福网络分析平台（SNAP）是一款通用的网络分析和图挖掘库。该库采用C++编写，能够轻松扩展至包含数亿节点和数十亿边的庞大网络。SNAP能够高效地操作大型图，计算结构属性，生成规则和随机图，并支持节点和边的属性。SNAP还通过NodeXL提供支持，NodeXL是一款图形前端，它将网络分析集成至Microsoft Office和Excel中。自2004年起，SNAP库一直处于积极开发状态，并随着我们在分析大型社交和信息网络方面的研究追求而自然成长。迄今为止，我们使用该库分析的最大网络是2006年的微软即时通讯网络，包含2.4亿个节点和13亿条边。网站上可用的数据集大多是为了我们的研究目的而收集（抓取）的。该网站于2009年7月启动。
