Distances, closeness and betweenness all rely on shortest paths. What are you missing here? Do you mean the paths themselves, i.e. the people on them? In many cases there are many equally long shortest paths between two authors.

Thanks.
Good to know that in the case of authors it is called Short-ID.
I think it would be less confusnig users can't fill in the name vs id field. Second, where are the paths? The key funcitonality and fun of CollEc is to find the shortest paths. I don't see that functionality here. -- Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel skype:thomaskrichel
