随着社会网络研究的发展，关于不同名称生成器的限制和相关性的争论也随之而来。核心问题是：它们应该构建什么？为了什么研究问题？有些过程倾向于选择具有唯一名称生成器的精确目标;其他过程则倾向于使用一系列名称生成器。作者在这里讨论了一些特殊性和优势，这些方法的自我为中心的网络。然后，作者提出了“上下文”的名称生成器，这是在法国和魁北克的纵向定性面板研究开发。该工具提供了以社会学问题为重点的各种信息。它最初的设计区分了两个互补的阶段，以区分全球基于上下文的网络和特定的基于资源的网络。这一工具保持灵活性，可适用于不同的主题。
The debate on the limits and relevance of the different name generators comes with the development of social network studies. The core questions are: What are they supposed to construct? For what research question? Some procedures tend to choose a precise target with a unique name generator; others prefer to use a series of name generators. The authors discuss here some specificities and advantages of these methods for ego-centered networks. The authors then present the ''contextual'' name generator, which was developed in longitudinal qualitative panel studies in France and Quebec. This tool gives access to a great variety of information focused on sociological questions. Its original design differentiates two complementary stages to distinguish the global contexts-based network from specific resource-based networks. This tool remains flexible and may be adapted to different topics.
