SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires numpy, pandas, networkx, matplotlib, seaborn, scipy, jieba, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of identifying all relevant participants (both human and non-human) in an Actor-Network Theory setting so you can accurately model who/what acts, how, and with what relational significance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Human actor recognition: Extract and inventory individual, organizational, and collective actors from the provided research text.
  • Non-human actor recognition: Detect technologies, documents, concepts, artifacts, and natural/contextual entities that participate in the socio-technical network.
  • Relationship and network positioning: Infer connections based on co-occurrence and action cues, then compute basic network metrics (with graceful fallback when advanced libraries are unavailable).

Quick Start

Use the ant-participant-identification skill on your input text (or JSON with a text/content field) to generate an actor inventory, relationship list, and network metrics.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify human and non-human actors in Actor-Network Theory research?

To identify actors in Actor-Network Theory, you extract human participants like individuals and organizations, alongside non-human entities such as technologies and artifacts, to build a comprehensive actor inventory from your text.

Can I use network metrics to analyze socio-technical networks for technology adoption?

Yes, you can analyze socio-technical networks for technology adoption by computing basic graph metrics using NetworkX, inferring relationship types with context and confidence from co-occurrence and action cues.

What is the best way to build an actor inventory from policy implementation text?

The best way to build an actor inventory from policy implementation text is to process the content to extract individual, collective, and technological entities, categorizing them into human and non-human participants.

Does this participant identification approach work for telemedicine deployment scenarios?

Yes, participant identification works for telemedicine deployment scenarios by detecting technologies, documents, and human actors to model who acts and with what relational significance in the network.

How do I infer relationship types between actors in a socio-technical network?

You infer relationship types between actors in a socio-technical network by analyzing co-occurrence and action cues in the text, generating connections with contextual data and confidence scores.

What input format do I need to extract non-human actors from research text?

To extract non-human actors, you need to provide raw text or a JSON object containing a text or content field, which the system processes to detect technologies, documents, concepts, and contextual entities.
