In order to define and (subsequently) identify collaboration profiles, we consider well known metrics dependent on the node (Clustering Coefficient, Eigenvector, Degree and Weighted Degree) and related to the whole graph (Closeness, Eccentricity and Betweenness). From these metrics, we define four categories of collaboration profiles, each with two levels of subcategories.
Single Artists Collaboration
Multi-artists Collaboration
Nearby Collaboration
Distant Collaboration
Inter-genre Collaboration
Intra-genre Collaboration
Non Influential Collaboration
Influential Collaboration
We can infer 16 different collaboration profiles from the main 4 categories.
The radar chart below presents the characteristics of each profile, where each characteristic is represented by a network metric.
