"Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts...A graphical representation of [url=http://www.par5club.com/louboutin.php]louboutin[/url] data abstracted from the banks of every computer in the human system. [url=http://www.lotogame.fr/hollisterfrance.php]hollister pas cher[/url] Unthinkablecomplexity. Lines of light ranged in the non-space of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding..." (William Gibson, "Neuromancer", 1984, page 51)

At first sight, it appears to be a static, cluttered diagram with multicoloured, overlapping squares. Really, it is an extremely powerfulway of presenting the dynamics of the emerging e-publishing industry. R2 Consulting has constructed these eBook Industry Maps to "reflect the evolving business models among publishers, conversion houses, digital distribution companies, eBook vendors, online retailers, libraries, library vendors, authors, and many others. [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour sale[/url] These maps are 3-dimensionaloffering viewers both a high-level orientation to the eBook landscape and an in-depth look at multiple eBook models and the partnerships that have [url=http://www.ttcarpets.co.uk]mulberry outlet[/url] formed within each one." Pass your mouse over any of the squares and a virtual floodgate opens - a universe of interconnected and hyperlinked names, a detailed atlas of who does what to whom.
eBookMap.net is one example of a relatively novel approach to databases and web indexing. The metaphor of cyber-space comes alive in spatial, two and three dimensional map-like representations of the world of knowledge in Cybergeography's online "Atlas". Instead of endless, static and bi-chromatic lists of links - Cybergeography catalogues visual,recombinant vistas with a stunning palette, internal dynamics and an intuitively conveyed sense of inter-relatedness. Hyperlinks are incorporated in the topography and topology [url=http://www.lotogame.fr/louboutin-pas-cher/]louboutin pas cher[/url] of these almost-neural maps.
"These maps of Cyberspaces - cybermaps - help us visualise and comprehend the new digital landscapes beyond our computer screen, in the wires of the global communications networks and vast online information resources. The cybermaps, like maps of the real-world, help us navigate the new information landscapes, as well being objects of aesthetic interest. They have been created by 'cyber-explorers' of many different disciplines, and from all corners of the world. Some of the maps ... in the Atlas of Cyberspaces ... appear familiar, [url=http://www.fayatindia.com/giuseppe-zanotti.html]giuseppe zanotti pas cher[/url] using the cartographicconventions of real-world maps, however, [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour outlet[/url] many of the maps are much more abstract representations of electronic spaces, using new metrics and grids."
Navigating these maps is like navigating an inner, familiar, territory.
They come in all shapes and modes: flow charts, quasi-geographical maps, 3-d simulator-like terrains and many others. The "web Stalker" is an experimental [url=http://www.mxitcms.com/abercrombie/]abercrombie milano[/url] web browser which is equipped with mapping functions. The range of applicability is mind boggling.
A (very) partial list:
The Internet Genome Project - "open-source map of the major conceptual components of the Internet and how they relate to each other"
Anatomy of a Linux System - Aimed to "...give viewers a concise and comprehensive look at the Linux universe' and at the heart of the poster is a gravity well graphic showing the core software components,surrounded by explanatory text"
NewMedia 500 - The financial, strategic, and other inter-relationshipsand interactions between the leading 500 [url=http://www.tagverts.com/barbour.php]barbour deutschland[/url] new (web) media firms
Internet Industry Map - Ownership and alliances determine status, control, and access in the [url=http://www.villazuki.it]woolrich sito ufficiale[/url] Internet industry. A revealing organizational chart.
The Internet Weather Report measures Internet performance, latency periods and downtime based on a sample of 4000 domains.
Real Time Geographic Visualization of WWW Traffic - a stunning, 3-d representation of web usage and traffic statistics the world over.
WebBrain [url=http://www.tileproject.net]barbour outlet[/url] and Map.net provide a graphic rendition of the Open Directory Project. The thematic structure of the ODP is instantly discernible.
The WebMap is a [url=http://www.fayatindia.com/giuseppe-zanotti.html‎]www.fayatindia.com/giuseppe-zanotti.html‎[/url] visual, multi-category directory which contains 2,000,000 web sites. The user can zoom in and out of sub-categories and "unlock" their contents.
Maps help write fiction, trace a user's clickpath (replete with clickable web sites), capture Usenet and chat interactions (threads), plot search results (though Alta Vista discontinued its mapping [url=http://www.jeremyparendt.com/Barbour-Paris.php]barbour france paris[/url] service and Yahoo!3D is no more), [url=http://www.riad-marrakesh.fr]abercrombie pas cher[/url] bookmark web destinations, and navigate through complex sites.
Different metaphors are used as interface. Web sites are represented as plots of land, stars (whose brightness corresponds to the web site's popularity ranking), amino-acids in DNA-like constellations,topographical maps of the ocean depths, buildings in an urban landscape, or other objects in a pastoral setting. Virtual Reality (VR) maps allow information to be simultaneously browsed by teams of collaborators, sometimes represented as avatars in a fully immersive environment. In many applications, the user is expected to fly amongst the data items in virtual landscapes. With the advent of sophisticated GUI's (Graphic UserInterfaces) and VRML (Virtual Reality Markup Language) - these maps may well [url=http://www.femmesexenue.fr]louboutin pas cher[/url] show us the way to a more colourful and user-friendly future.
