Advogato Trust Network

Trust network from the Advogato community, a free software development community founded by Raph Levien. Nodes represent users and directed edges indicate trust certifications with four trust levels: Observer (0.4), Apprentice (0.6), Journeyer (0.8), and Master (1.0). Used for research on attack-resistant trust metrics.
