In order to analyze the scientific interests and relationships of the participants of the International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Adaptive Knowledge Representation and Reasoning 2008 (AKRR’08) conference, we have developed SOMPA environment (Self-Organizing Maps of Papers and Authors). SOMPA is a software with webbased interface for collecting and analyzing information on authors and ...

We outline the main elements of what we call polyscopic structuring of information and argue that information needs to be structured accordingly. The principles of polyscopy may both serve as guidelines for creating Topic Maps, and provide orientation for further development of Topic Maps standards and software.

In dieser Untersuchung werden die drei Lokalen Suchmaschinen Google Maps, Bing Maps und TOnline Maps in einem kombinierten Eye-Trackingund Usability-Test verglichen. Es zeigen sich sowohl Probleme bei der Benutzung einzelner Suchmaschinen als auch übergreifende Ergebnisse, die für die Gestaltung von kartenbasierten Suchmaschinen relevant sind. Wir geben Empfehlungen für die Gestaltung solcher S...

Hi-C experiments generate data in form of large genome contact maps (Hi-C maps). These show that chromosomes are arranged in a hierarchy of three-dimensional compartments. But to understand how these compartments form and by how much they affect genetic processes such as gene regulation, biologists and bioinformaticians need efficient tools to visualize and analyze Hi-C data. However, this is t...

Bibliometrics has the ambitious goal of measuring science. To this end, it exploits the way science is disseminated trough scientific publications and the resulting citation network of scientific papers. We survey the main historical contributions to the field, the most interesting bibliometric indicators, and the most popular bibliometric data sources. Moreover, we discuss distributions common...

The article is review and informative. A web application has been created from a series of maps that provide the user with information about history Department Cartography Geospatial Modeling Lviv Polytechnic National University. With help maps, you can get necessary scientific-pedagogical auxiliary staff Modeling.The data was processed database in Microsoft Excel spreadsheet editor, which used...

We present a novel approach to visually locate bodies of research within the sciences, both at each moment of time and dynamically. This article describes how this approach fits with other efforts to locally and globally map scientific outputs. We then show how these science overlay maps help benchmark, explore collaborations, and track temporal changes, using examples of universities, corporat...
