Σύνοψη	Directed ego network analysis examines the personal network of a focal node — the ego — by distinguishing the direction of each tie: who sends resources, support, or information to the ego, and to whom the ego sends them. This asymmetric perspective reveals role differentiation, dependence, and brokerage that undirected ego networks cannot capture.	Directed Betweenness Centrality extends Freeman's classic betweenness measure to directed graphs, quantifying how often a node lies on the shortest directed paths between all other pairs of nodes. It identifies gatekeepers, brokers, and bottlenecks in asymmetric flows such as information cascades, citation networks, and organizational hierarchies.
