Katy Borner on "Mapping Science: Opportunities and Challenges"

Here's the second talk by Katy Borner: “Mapping Science: Opportunities and Challenges”

This talk showcased recent progress in mapping mankind’s scholarly knowledge on a global scale. It started with an introduction of the process of mapping scholarly data, an overview of commonly used metaphors and references systems, and a visual feast of large-scale maps of sciences. Next, it examined the utility of science maps for diverse user groups and existing research and practical opportunities, and concluded with a set of major challenges related to the continuous harvesting, integration, processing, analysis, mapping, interactive display, and interpretation of a steadily increasing stream of interdisciplinary, multi-lingual scholarly data.

The talk draws on work by the author and collaborators, as well as on the ‘Places & Spaces: Mapping Science’ exhibit.

I note that I will be posting framed versions of many of these maps (in 8.5 x 11 form, which does not do justice to them) near my office (Taubman 362) next week, so please feel free to come by and browse. As with the workshop ppt, I will post this ppt shortly.
