Map-based Visualization of NNTP Newsgroups
(category : Milestone)
Monthes after Patrick Jermann cool map-based visualization of an EPFL NNTP newsgroup, he moved forward and created a high-level schema of several types of textual data (newsgroups, blogs, library, ...). Based on this schema, it took me no time for me to reuse the code of ShoutSpace and build an interactive map-based visualitzation of the NNTP newsgroups (here the epfl.comp.mac newsgroup). The visualisation rely on the translation from an IP in the newsgroup message header towards a room identificator. From there, we use geographical data about the rooms coordinates to draw the maps.  
This work is part of our projects on semantic and social visualization of textual data. Posted by Fabien Girardin on Thursday 24 March 2005 at 18:26 |
