This RFID crawl was of limited success in showing a robust, fully developed RFID issue network, although it did show an interesting relationship between the overall online privacy community, made up of sites like cpsr.org, eff.org and epic.org and the RFID "watchdog" community, centered around nocards.org, the primary site of CASPIAN. The "privacy community" emerges as a well-developed, robust network on the lower-middle portion of the graph. The key actors in the privacy network collectively point to the key actors in the RFID watchdog community.
The majority of the nodes in this network fall within the RFID and privacy advocacy category, with limited representation from the RFID industry and research communities. A cluster of software and hardware sites which have an interest in RFID but are not RFID specific manufacturers (sun.com, ibm.com, microsoft.com. apache.org and intel.org) appear in the upper middle portion of the graph, less tightly knit cluster than the privacy community. Some RFID industry sites appear on the graph, but somewhat haphazardly and are not clustered (alientechnology.com, sap.com, matrics.com). There is also some issue drift from the more general privacy community (donotcall.gov, 911commission.gov).
