This paper is an introductory study to comprehensively grasp the betweenness centrality of government offices in the early Joseon dynasty using HAVNet data. The process of extracting data around the “Annals of the Joseon Dynasty” and designing and building HAVNet as the basis for research was conducted by history and computer science researchers, which were not the usual method in Korean historical research until now. The approach and analysis results carried out in this study are fundamentally different from previous studies related to the government organizations in the early Joseon dynasty. It is unique study in that it was analyzed based on the contents recorded in the Annals of the Joseon dynasty, not on previous research framework of analysis of state administration and government organizations in the early Joseon dynasty. Based on this study, we will conduct an interdisciplinary research that comprehensively analyzes blood ties and relationships among all historical figures of the Joseon dynasty.
