(a) The schematic visualization of events on a time-line and the subsequent evolution of the aggregated network of actors: Events appear sequentially. Event E 1 involving actors A 1, A 2 is followed by event E 2 involving A 2, A 3 and so on. The links depict the actors involved together in an event. New events (actors in yellow and links in red) add to actor mention (size of node) and actor co-mention (link weight; thickness of links). (b) The network of actors for EC for 2001. Each actor is a node and any two actors ever involved in an event are connected by a link. The size of the nodes are proportional to the total number of mentions in the period, and the relative thickness of the links are proportional to the total number of co-mentions of the actors (link weights). The largest connected component (giant component) is depicted in red.
