ABSTRACT
Real-world social networks are likely to have edges of many different kinds. This chapter provides how to extend the layer construction to handle edges of two different kinds — typed and directed — by composing the layer construction. However, each version represents, straightforward to connect the edges of the original social network to the right versions of each node. In the example of the Florentine families, we would have four versions of each node, whose meanings are social-out, social-in, financial-out, and financial-in, and so a directed social edge would connect from a social-out node to a social-in node. The different orders lead to different constructions and result in different embeddings. Each node of the original graph is first replicated into red and green versions. The normalized length of the vertical edges can be interpreted as an indication of how different the social and business roles of each family are in this context.
