The dataset representing the multiplex social network in a tailor shop. If you use this dataset in your work either for analysis or for visualization, you should acknowledge/cite the following book: "Strategy and transaction in an African factory" Kapferer B. (1972) Manchester: Manchester University Press
Interactions in a tailor shop in Zambia (then Northern Rhodesia) over a period of ten months.
Layers represent two different types of interaction, recorded at two different times (seven months apart) over a period of one month. TI1 and TI2 record the "instrumental" (work- and assistance-related) interactions at the two times; TS1 and TS2 the "sociational" (friendship, socioemotional) interactions.
The data are particularly interesting since an abortive strike occurred after the first set of observations, and a successful strike took place after the second.
There are 39 nodes in total, labelled with integer ID between 1 and 39, with 1018 connections. The multiplex is directed and unweighted, stored as edges list in the file Kapferer-Tailor-Shop_multiplex.edges
