The model of community of concrete historical investigation support technology users

The article continues a series of works devoted to description and analysis of distributed technology of concrete historical investigation support based on the principles of crowdsourcing. This article is devoted to description and substantiation of the approach to modeling the community of technology users and the processes of spreading distorted information among its members to study the resistance of technology of concrete historical investigation support to attempts of history distortion, which is an urgent task in modern society. The proposed approach is to create a model of community structure on the basis of the Bollobas–Riordan directed graph. The principles of information spreading between graph nodes are based on factors and effects that occur in real social networks and are determined by the characteristics of their members, the nature of their interaction, and the properties of the social network. The adequacy of the model was verified by comparing the character of distorted information spread in the mode of resistance to information attacks lack with the logistic curve that shows the process of innovation diffusion.
