Thank you for the kind note. I appreciate it very much. And, no apologies necessary for your English--it's quite good actually, and you should proud of it.
In answering your question about Gephi losing duplicate edges on a CSV import, I lost track of your requirement that edges can have different weights upon their reappearance. Let me look into that because it would help me, too. I can think of a solution that might work, but I haven't tried it yet.
Finally, I didn't "waste" any time in helping to answer your questions. It helped me, too, and because I am an enthusiastic supporter of network research and Gephi, I'm happy to help out from time to time on the forum.

Thank you for :
- All your answers.
- Your patience
- The accuracy of your answers
- Helping me
- Many other things
Gephi is still a great software, easy to manipulate and with many possibilities.
The multiple intervals trick that you pointed out is very valuable, I didn't know it. I'll use it in other projects.
As I said, English is not my mother tongue, and sometimes I try to use fancy words instead of being simple and clear, and I shouldn't. My bad. I'll edit my previous messages.
In a nutshell, thank you Francis, and sorry for the time you wasted with me when I should have been looking for existing answers in this forum (well, actually I did but obviously not enough).
Fare well,
Vongo

I think that the key point is that, to my understanding, the current version of Gephi does not allow for duplicate edges (defined as having the same source and target) via a CSV import. This might change at some point, or so it says elsewhere on this site.
Here's a helpful link: https://forum.gephi.org/viewtopic.php?f ... dges#p9136
In your most recent example, the import function will treat all edges as the same and, it seems, use some formula to increase the weight of that edge.
Here's a solution, I think: use "spells" if you're interested in building a .GEXF file or, if you're working with spreadsheet data, to include an edge's on/off times in the edges time interval field.
For the CSV approach, try to specify a time interval like this: "<[i1] [i2] ... [iN]>" where each interval has its own start_time and end_time specified appropriately. Note, you can use square brackets ("[" or "]") to include a start or end time, or a parenthesis ("(" or ")") to start immediately after a start time or end immediately before an end time.
Here's an example:
CODE:
IdSourceTargetDurationTypeLabel112<[1.0, 2.0] [3.0, 4.0] (5.0, 6.0]>DirectedVariable Dynamic Edge223<[0.5,6.0]>DirectedDynamic Edge324<[0.5,6.0]>DirectedDynamic Edge435<[0.5,5.0]>DirectedDynamic EdgeAlso, one point on the description below: a "vertex" is the same as a node, but it seem like you're using it to mean "edge." I should also point out that vertices (i.e., nodes) as well as edges can be dynamic. You can specify a node's start/end times the way you would for an edge.
Good luck on this and let me know how it goes for you.

Thank you again for spending time helping me.
Your example works well, but doesn't do all the trick.
Let me be more specific about my issue here :
Let's assume my data has a scheme like (Id, Source, Target, Begin, End, Type). Let's also assume two edges v1 & v2 have the same source S and the same target T, but edge v1 begins @ time t1 and ends @ t1+x, whereas edge v2 begins @ time t1+2x and ends @t1+3x.
According to this data, there shouldn't be an edge from S to T between t1+x & t1+2x.
If I import this very same data into Gephi, however, half the data is lost. All I have is an edge [ST]:[t1,t1+x]...
Example :
CODE:
Id,Source,Target,Start,End1,1,2,1,32,1,2,5,73,1,2,6,94,1,2,12,13CODE:
Source Destination Type Id Label Weight Start End12Orienté14.013PS : please forgive me if I'm not making myself clear, English is not my mother tongue.
[EDIT : misuse of the word 'vertex']

If you're using Gephi 0.8.2, try this for your edge list:
IdSourceTargetDurationType
112<[1.0, 4.99]>Directed
513<[3.0, 4.99]>Directed
731<[5.0, 5.99]>Directed
821<[3.0, 4.99]>Directed
1023<[2.0, 3.99]>Directed
Make sure that the "Duration" field is set to type "Time Interval" during the import. You'll notice that I combined some of your edge entries to build this table.
When Gephi 0.9 comes out, it will be using time stamps rather than time intervals, and your way of entering the data might work better then.
Good luck!

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to do the trick. I tested the dataset below in data lab :
CODE:
Id,Source,Target,Time1,1,2,12,1,2,23,1,2,34,1,2,45,1,3,36,1,3,47,3,1,58,2,1,39,2,1,410,2,3,2CODE:
Source Destination TypeId Label Weight Time1 2Orienté1 4.011 3Orienté5 2.032 1Orienté8 2.032 3Orienté10 1.023 1Orienté7 1.05How can I specify that Id has to strongly identify an edge ?
Thank you

I'm currently working on dynamic graphs with Gephi (that's quite a surprise, isn't it ?) and I'm facing a very common (I guess) issue, but I wasn't able to find a solution, neither on this forum nor on the Internet.
The data I use to build my graph is composed by :
A list of nodes (id, label, etc., date of birth). I use DoB to build a time interval column (one-bound).
A list of edges (source, target, etc., date/time). I use date to build a time interval column (two-bounds).
The semantic of my edge list can be seen like a phone call between two nodes. Therefore, there can be multiple occurrences of one edge, but at different times.
Example :
CODE:
Src Trgt Time 1 2 42 1 3 44 1 3 73 1 4 37 2 1 13For the previous example data it would give me :
CODE:
Src Trgt Time Weight 1 2 42 1 1 3 44 2 1 4 37 1 2 1 13 1My question is : how can I import my data so that I don't loose information ?
