This essay says it all better than I ever could. "This is a rough sketch of a more advanced knowledge map that has never been drawn." - R.B.Wild ("Non-Geo" Graphical Information Systems, with a particular focus on Mapping Knowledge Domains.I'm interested in creating visualizations of 'ideas' that do not necessarily have a geo basis to them).
