Simulation of social networks that is based on abstract features of existing infrastructures might lack reflectiveness. This paper discusses the multi-agent EvESim framework and its application to study processes in the social network Agropedia, which is a digital knowledge repository with an open platform for learning and sharing information related to Indian agriculture. The emulation capability of the EvESim framework delivers insights into social network bootstrap and growth.
