The association measure was the square of the co-occurrences of two terms over the product of their occurrences.

The networks exhibit considerable change over time although some consistent themes, like software development and user interfaces, persist. Travica treats IT as level of use of several specific technologies, and non-traditional structure as the level of organization structure, plus other selected variables.
