Figure 7From: A bi-directional approach to comparing the modular structure of networksThe pairwise comparison of the modular structure of the United Kingdom (UK) to four different countries’ SRNs, namely: Ireland (IE), Germany (DE), the Netherlands (NE), and Sweden (SE). In (A) we show the UK SRN. The nodes represent industries and edges the skill-relatedness between the two corresponding industries. Nodes are coloured according to their community (found using the modularity optimization algorithm). The same node layout is used as in Fig. 4. Labelling is added to indicate the general position of sectors within the network. Using the same layout we also show communities detected for IE, DE, the NE and SE in subfigure (B) to (E). In (F) we show the resulting BiDir distance from the pairwise comparison of the UK SRN to the other countries’ SRNsBack to article page
