In the last decades, much research has been devoted in topics related to Social Network Analysis. One important direction in this area is to analyze the temporal evolution of a network. So far, previous approaches analyzed this setting at both the global and the local level. In this paper, we focus on finding a way to detect temporal eras in an evolving network. We pose the basis for a general framework that aims at helping the analyst in browsing the temporal clusters both in a top-down and bottom-up way, exploring the network at any level of temporal details. We show the effectiveness of our approach to real data, by applying our proposed methodology to a co-authorship network extracted from a bibliographic dataset. Our first results are encouraging, and open the way for the definition and implementation of a general framework for discovering eras in evolving social networks.
