[Visinfo] Skupin Thursday afternoon talk: 3:30pm

[glegrady]

Anyone interested in Andre Skupin's talk on Thursday at 3:30pm will 
focus on knowledge domain visualization:

Anyone engaged in scientific work knows how difficult it has become to 
stay abreast of the latest scientific advances. This is largely due to 
the overwhelming volume of scientific literature, related to the 
growing number of peer-reviewed print outlets and Internet-based 
sources, combined with the increasingly interdisciplinary character of 
cutting-edge science. Scientists, educators, students, policy-makers, 
and funding agencies alike need new methods to gain understanding of 
the structure and development of scholarly knowledge. Knowledge domain 
visualization has emerged as a promising approach, drawing on the 
expertise of multiple fields, including information science, computer 
science, and geography. This presentation discusses some approaches 
currently pursued, with particular recognition of geographic 
contributions.
