Sorry, hastily prepared question...
I've come across that paper and the work of clique.
I'm interested in using similar approaches to analyse the effect of
institutional orders on common-based resources. I know this is not
necessarily the territory of SIOC but I was wondering had anybody
looked at extending SIOC in that direction....this is really the
domain of pragmatics.
It might be tangential to the work in clique but Christopher Goldspink
and the Emil project (http://emil.istc.cnr.it/) are looking at
emergence (of order through language etc) in large social systems.
There is a good paper at
http://lifeandmind.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/5.pdf.
In this paper they use manual content analysis, I think, which
precludes large macro sites however.
Thanks for the reply, sorry for the lack of clarity.
