This story shows that cooperation, or at least social interaction based on valuing the needs and goals of others, does seem to be uniquely human. Networked collaboration isn't the result of technology - it's the result of basic humanity.

These papers describe basic features of the data and how it was retrieved and processed. Because it is a very large data set there will inevitably be some mistakes in it. I do my best to continue improving the data--if you find mistakes please let me know and I will fix them.

In addition, we hope that SoNIA will have other uses. One of the most important is for it to work as a platform for the development, testing, and comparison of various static and dynamic layout techniques.
