Abstract: Recent models have introduced the notion of dimensions and 
hierarchies in social networks. These models motivate the mining of small 
world graphs under a new perspective. We exemplary base our work on a 
conference graph, which is constructed from the DBLP publication records. 
We show that this graph indeed exhibits a layered structure as the models 
suggest. We then introduce a subtraction approach that allows to segregate 
layers. Using this technique we separate the conference graph into a 
thematic and a quality layer. As concrete applications of the discussed 
methods we present a novel rating method as well as a conference search 
tool that bases on our graph and its layer separation.
