Conversions
A significant feature of WORDij is the file format conversion utilities, which make it easy to move your network data from one software package to another.
The next series of slides will demo how to do three conversions:
Convert WordLink .wtg and .ptg files into
MultiNet Node and Link .csv files.
Convert a WordLink .pr file into a NodeTric Pajek .net file.
Convert a Pajek .net file into
MultiNet Node and Link .csv files.
Note: UCINET reads Pajek .net files.
1a. Convert WordLink .wtg into MultiNet Node .csv files.
Select the WORDij Conversions tab
Select the NODConvert sub-tab.
Browse for your WordLink .wtg file you wish to convert.
Browse and define a NOD .csv file. We suggest that you begin the file name with “NOD” which is required by MultiNet.
Click Start
A message will display that the program is finished. Click, Ok.
Then a log file message will display. Click Close.
Your WordLink .wtg file has been converted to a MultiNet Node .csv file.
Next you need to use the LINConvert conversion to create the MultiNet Link .csv file to read in your network into MultiNet
The next slide is a screen shot summary of the NODConvert steps.
