Workshop Goals & Agenda:

This workshop aims to identify existing and to master-mind novel maps for an exhibit on "Science (Weather) Forecasts" as part of the 3rd iteration of the Mapping Science exhibit. The envisioned maps help to communicate the structure and evolution of mankind's scholarly knowledge by showing for example

- The evolution of scientific communities/fields – birth, growth, maturation, decline.
- Interactions among fields. Who 'eats' who's papers?
- Trends, patterns, or emergent research frontiers, feedback loops, etc.
- Interplay of competition and collaboration.
- Diffusion of people, ideas, skills, etc. in geospatial space and topic space.
- Effects of different funding models, e.g., few large vs. many small grants.

The maps are rendered based on a sophisticated analysis and modeling of large-scale scholarly datasets comprising papers, patents, or grants. For background information please see list of publications.

Please fill out the Brief Bio and PR^2: Problems & Pitches and submit to Katy Borner <katy@indiana.edu> and Elisha Hardy <efhardy@indiana.edu> by Thursday October 19th, 2006.
