The things a social graph gives you - Friends of a Friend, graph overlap, graph complexity, etc. All these metrics matter a lot in the social space. We can't get them (with, see below, a few exceptions like HTML - and boy is having the edges there a useful thing) |

An article I ran acrosss a few days back pointed out how the nature relationships also matters. It starts off noting that gender is often given as binary (M/F), when reality can be more complicated (though most of the complications are a distinct minority case). That's something I ran across years back looking at healthcare data, where "gender" had in some cases five values: male, female, indeterminate, other, and unknown.
Relationships, though: "friend", "family", "co-worker", "ex-spouse", "enemy", ...
Any thoughts on capturing something such as this (or of similar complexity) on a graph? Or references?
I suspect international or inter-corporate relationships might be similar.
