The data is analyzed by means of statistical and graph-theoretical methods. The results of the analysis show interesting relations among the authors of publications whose descriptions are included in the system. The results may be useful for determining the structure of research groups related to the rough sets, the scientific interests of the members of those groups, mutual collaboration between groups, as well as for identifying the trends appearing in research. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{rough sets; collaboration graph; patterns of collaboration; social networks} \itemli{doi:10.1007/978-3-642-16248-0\_7} \end
