jester: Jester joke ratings (2001)
Two bipartite networks of users and jokes, extracted from the online joke recommender system Jester. A user connects to all jokes for which that user entered a rating. Edge weights give the rating score, scaled from -10 to 10. The two files differ by how many joke nodes are included, 100 or 150.
This network has 73521 nodes and 4136360 edges.

This implies that the various components of the chain, however many, need to be aware of the respective next and previous one somehow: Any component has to know the source, the protocol, and the destination for loading the next one, and the build system needs to create an overall image for t…
