School of Social and Political Science

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

We present a demonstrator that visualizes the Twittersphere debate on whether the UK should remain in or leave the European Union. Data is collected using three strategies: hashtag search terms, extraction from the full stream and following specific users. The demonstrator can be used to show the different discussion topics identified by the different search strategies.
