Box 5031, 2600 GA Delft, The Netherlands Abstract Our society contains all types of organizations, such as companies, research groups and hobby clubs. Affiliation networks, as a large and important portion of social networks, consist of individuals and their affiliation relations: Two individuals are connected by a link if they belong to the same organization(s).
