networkscience, betweenness, centrality

The World is about to (re)learn the #networkscience concept of #betweenness.

Betweenness #centrality is a measure of the number of times a given node/place lies on the shortest paths between all pairs of nodes/places in the whole network… in this case a world-wide transportation (supply chain) network.

Nodes high in Betweenness are also known as intermediaries or gatekeepers. They are shown as blue circles in the map below.
