We are happy to announce the first joined work group meeting of KNOWeSCAPE, organized in conjunction with the “International UDC Seminar 2013 “Classification and Visualization” The Hague, 24-25 October. The meeting, which will be a joined activity of WG 1 Phenomenology of knowledge spaces and WG 3 Visual analytics of…
For the construction of knowledge maps the expertise of bibliometrics in scholarly communication is on important resource. To finally implement them it is the expertise of information retrieval and web applications which is needed. This workshop aims to bridge between those two communities. Taking place at the bi-annual international conference…
One precondition for knowledge maps and science maps, which aim to be more as ‘just’ visualization of a certain situation at a certain point in time, is to compare them. There are different issues at hand: First, to articulate the reference frame of a specific science map, and to discuss…
On June 11, 2013 Andrea Scharnhorst gave a talk at the IMT in Lucca, featuring also KnowEscape. Abstract: When we google, search Wikipedia, and share information on Mendeley, we obviously deal with complex networks of information. But also traditional information spaces – the collections of libraries for instance – and…
Early in the 2000th years so-called science maps entered bibliometrics and scientometrics. (Börner et al. 2003) Mapping the disciplinary structure of the sciences has become a booming business since. Science maps can have different functions: to evaluate institutions and groups (Klavans&Boyack 2010); to characterize funded scientific networks (see Akdag et…
The public policy analysis of complex social issues in the context of interconnected globalized world requires a multidimensional approach. Such an approach requires the ability to look beyond the borders of respective disciplines of knowledge and explore possible ways of seeing the issue at hand before defining the research problem. …
At the Lorentz Center in Leiden from 27 May 2013 through 31 May 2013 Diego Garlaschelli (Leiden, The Netherlands) and H. Eugene Stanley (Boston, USA) organized a workshop “Econophysics and Networks Across Scales”. For this community of complexity research at the interface between physics and economics knowledge maps, and information…
On April 26, the kick-off meeting of the COST Action KNOWeSCAPE (TD1210) took place in Brussels at the COST office. Please follow us on this website, Twitter and Mendeley. First activities will be announced soon. For questions about what is a COST Action and how to join consult the COST…
This 7th iteration (2011) of the ongoing exhibition Places and Spaces explores the utility of science maps as visual interfaces to digital libraries to support the selection, navigation, management, and usage of resources by communicating (see website )
