Abstract
A formal definition of position in networks is proposed. Based on the conceptualization of networks as data on intersecting dyads, it leads to integrated means of analysis for various kinds of relational and attribute data and to a simultaneous unification and generalization of a wide range of network-analytic methods. In fact, by defining network positions explicitly, various methods can be broken down into sequences of generic steps that are more amenable to substantive theorizing, integration of qualitative insight, and empirical validation.
