Abstract:
This disclosure is directed to determining various economic graph indices and, in particular, to systems and methods that leverage a graph analytic engine and framework to determine values assigned to graph nodes extracted from one or more member profiles, and visualizing said values to correlate skills, geographies, and industries. The disclosed embodiments include a client-server architecture where a social networking server has access to a social graph of its social networking members. The social networking server includes various modules and engines that import the member profiles and then extracts certain defined attributes from the member profiles, such as employer (e.g., current employer and/or past employers), identified skills, educational institutions attended, and other such defined attributes. Using these attributes as nodes, the social networking server constructs a graph using various graph processing techniques. The resulting graph is then used to correlate and rank the various attributes that define the graph.
