Wikipedia Academic Disciplines Network

<p>This network is a result of scraping Wikipedia (using <a href="https://scrapy.org/">scrapy</a>), starting at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_academic_disciplines">Outline of Academic Disciplines</a>&nbsp;and following every link until a page is reached (i.e. if an outline is reached, all the links there are followed, when a page is reached, the links there are recorded, but not followed). Each page/article visited is recorded as a node. If one page/article links to another, the nodes are connected with an edge. The edges are weighted by the number of links between the pages. An example of a weight greater than 1 is if two pages&nbsp;both link to each other,&nbsp;or if there are&nbsp;multiple links to the same page&nbsp;in an article.&nbsp;</p> <p>This process resulted in 640,031 nodes and&nbsp;4,503,438 edges. The network is undirected, so each edge only appears once.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
