Abstract
In the previous chapter we investigated different types of vertex equivalences which lead us to the notion of a position in a social network. We saw algorithms that compute the sets of equivalent actors according to different notions of equivalence. However, which of these notions are best suited for the analysis of concrete real world data seems to depend strongly on the application area.
