Knowledge Cartography: Software Tools and Mapping Techniques |

Compendium case studies in new book
Simon Buckingham Shum
01.10.08
Several case studies analysing Compendium usage are compiled in Knowledge Cartography, a new book published this month:
"Knowledge Cartography is the discipline of mapping intellectual landscapes.The focus of this book is on the process by which manually crafting interactive, hypertextual maps clarifies one's own understanding, as well as communicating it.The authors see mapping software as a set of visual tools for reading and writing in a networked age. In an information ocean, the primary challenge is to find meaningful patterns around which we can weave plausible narratives. Maps of concepts, discussions and arguments make the connections between ideas tangible and disputable."
