By Daniel D. Suthers (auth.), Tony Sherborne, Simon J. Buckingham Shum, Alexandra Okada (eds.)

Knowledge Cartography is the self-discipline of mapping highbrow landscapes. the focal point of this e-book is at the technique through which manually crafting interactive, hypertextual maps clarifies one’s personal figuring out, in addition to speaking it.

The authors see mapping software program as a suite of visible instruments for analyzing and writing in a networked age. In a data ocean, the first problem is to discover significant styles round which we will be able to weave believable narratives. Maps of recommendations, discussions and arguments make the connections among principles tangible and disputable.

With 17 chapters from the major researchers and practitioners, the reader will locate the present state–of-the-art within the box. half 1 specializes in academic functions in faculties and universities, ahead of half 2 turns to functions in specialist groups, yet with many cross-cutting themes:

  • conceptual frameworks for knowing wisdom cartography
  • visual languages, a lot of which paintings on either paper and with software
  • specialist software program, a lot of it freely to be had and open source
  • case experiences reflecting on successes and failures
  • ways during which maps can be utilized either successfully and ineffectively
  • examples of ways to judge maps
  • visit the web site for updates at the box, and additional assets for every chapter:

Knowledge Cartography will be of curiosity to novices, educators, and researchers in all disciplines, in addition to coverage analysts, state of affairs planners, wisdom managers and group facilitators. Practitioners will locate new views and instruments to extend their repertoire, whereas researchers will locate wealthy adequate conceptual grounding for extra scholarship.
