Challenge 35 - LinkedIn Network Graph - Solution

In this challenge we will create a network graph using your LinkedIn data. Here are a few instructions on how to request your LinkedIn data, so that you can tackle this challenge:

Open the app and click on the profile icon (top right)
Go to "Settings & Privacy" > Data Privacy
Under the section "How LinkedIn uses your data", click "Get a copy of your data"
If you do not have a LinkedIn account or any LinkedIn data, feel free to use our supplied excel sheet below. Once you have your chosen data at hand, your task is to make networks that show where your contacts work, and link those contacts to a work place node. A simple example would be:

Paolo ---- KNIME ----- Elizabeth

The above network graph shows that both of your contacts (Paolo and Elizabeth) work at KNIME. After the graph is built, visualize the top 3 companies where most of your contacts work. Hint: We used the Network Creator node and Object Inserter node to create our graph.
