Product Description: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.
With 17 chapters from the leading researchers and practitioners, the
reader will find the current state–of-the-art in the field. Part 1
focuses on educational applications in schools and universities, before
Part 2 turns to applications in professional communities, but with many
cross-cutting themes:
• conceptual frameworks for understanding knowledge cartography
• visual languages, many of which work on both paper and with software
• specialist software, much of it freely available and open source
• case studies reflecting on successes and failures
• ways in which maps can be used both effectively and ineffectively
• examples of how to evaluate maps
• visit the website for updates on the field, and extra resources for each chapter:
Knowledge Cartography will be of interest to learners, educators, and
researchers in all disciplines, as well as policy analysts, scenario
planners, knowledge managers and team facilitators. Practitioners will
find new perspectives and tools to expand their repertoire, while
researchers will find rich enough conceptual grounding for further
scholarship.
