[Sigvis-l] Tutorial: "Analyzing and Visualizing Knowledge Domains"

[Katy Borner]

There will be a tutorial on "Analyzing and Visualizing Knowledge
Domains" by
Katy Borner, Indiana University at Electronic Imaging, Santa Clara,
California,
January 23rd, 2003.

The tutorial will introduce advanced data mining and information
visualization techniques that can be used to support science and
technology management. It will demonstrate how large amounts of, e.g.,
publication, patent, and grant data can be analyzed, correlated, and
visualized to map the semantic space of researchers, publications,
funding, etc.. The resulting visualizations can be utilized to
objectively identify major research areas, experts, institutions,
grants, publications, journals, etc. in a research area of interest. In
addition, they can assist to identify interconnections, the import and
export of research between fields, the dynamics (speed of growth,
diversification) of scientific fields, scientific and social networks,
and the impact of strategic and applied research funding programs, among
others.
