Complex Networks Data Sets

In analyzing large-scale complex networks, it is important to establish a standard dataset from which algorithms and claims be compared and verified. Currently, it is often difficult to track down the original data used for computational experiments. Much of it is floating around in various formats throughout the net, imbedded in papers, and often difficult to get from the authors. Moreover, the datasets are often modified (filtered) by research groups interested in different attributes, so that even when the name and descriptions match a citation in a paper, there is no guarantee that the data is identical.

Here are some of the basic datasets used in the literature. While there is no standard taxonomy of the types of networks encounted, they fall into several general categories: Below is a list of sources.
