vosonSML version 0.29 changes to the network and graph creation process. It is backwards compatable with version 0.27 albeit without the new features.Collect Data controls named Create Network. This allows the creation of the different types of networks that are supported by vosonSML.activity, actor, bimodal and semantic.activity and actor have an option to Add Text that adds tweet text as a network node or edge attribute.actor network also has the option to Lookup User Data. This will retrieve profile information for users that became nodes during network creation who were not authors of tweets. Their profile information was missing most likely because they were referenced in tweets but none of their tweets were collected in the search. In a twitter search profile information is only returned for the authors of tweets captured in the search.bimodal and semantic networks have the option to filter out terms using the Remove Terms field. This accepts a comma delimited list of terms that can be actors and hashtags (e.g @climate_person, #climate) for bimodal networks and terms, actors and hashtags (e.g climate, @climate_person, #climate) for semantic networks. The semantic network currently uses the default vosonSML options of only including the 5% most frequent terms and 50% most frequently occuring hashtags in the network.activity and actor.activity and actor have an option to Add Text that adds video comment text as a network node or edge attribute.actor network with Add Text option allows for the further option to Find Replies in Text. This will create reply edges between actors in the network when an @actor_name reference is found at the beginning of a text comment.Add Video Details option for actor networks that retrieves video information and adds it to the network as a node attributes of VideoID type nodes (e.g title, description and publisher). This also replaces VideoID type nodes with the actors ID who published the video.Add Video Details is Only replace Video ID's. This option does not supplement the network with the additional video information retrieved but instead only replaces the VideoID type nodes with the actors ID who published the video.activity and actor.activity and actor have an option to Add Text that adds thread comment text as a network node or edge attribute.
Refer to vosonSML documentation for further information on network types and options at https://vosonlab.github.io/vosonSML/reference/index.html.

Documentation at https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/components/popovers/ and https://popper.js.org.VOSONDash Shiny app has been re-structured into an R package. Have started moving some of the ‘business logic’ away from the app server and into the general package.HOME. This location can be found in the VOSONDash start up information, in the apps API Keys tab or by using the following R function in RStudio: Sys.getenv("HOME"). The keys and tokens files are named vosondash_keys.rds and vosondash_tokens.rds respectively.API Keys tab and should be saved and re-used.VOSONDash to perform twitter collections. Using this token API rate-limiting will be applied to the users account not the app. Twitter refers to this method of authentication as ‘Application-user authentication: OAuth 1a (access token for user context)’. This feature uses the rtweet packages interactive web authorization as implemented by the rtweet::create_token function. As stated above once a token has been created it should be saved and re-used.Network Graphs. If there is a file with the same name as the demonstration graphml file but with an additional ‘.txt’ extension in the packages demonstration data folder it will be loaded as the graph description.Network Graphs plots as an overlay in the bottom left corner.visNetwork plot navigation controls.D3 network plots for the time being.All categories plot has now been removed from text analysis when single categories are chosen or combined.
