Places & Spaces: Cartography of the Physical and the Abstract - A Science Exhibit

Mapping the Structure and Evolution of Science, Talk at NIH's Knowledge Management Symposium. (videocast, my part starts at 02:12:41)

PNAS 101 (Suppl. 1) Apr 6, 2004 on 'Mapping Knowledge Domains'

Katy's Quotes
2008: "Let us build 'Scholarly Marketplaces' that are as easy and fun to use as Flickr and YouTube. Instead of sharing photos and videos we will use them to share scientific datasets and algorithms." See recent talks.
2007: "We need insight instead of eye candy." See also Visualizing Network Dynamics Competition.
2006: "Global Brain: Human brains turn out to be rather limited when compared to the flood of information they attempt to process, manage, and use. There are diverse indicators that a 'global brain' is emerging on this planet. While mostly available in biological wetware today this global brain might very soon be dominated by digital implants that help to effectively merge biological creativity with digital resources and processing speed. Let's hope this global brain is ready for action before we destroy our planet." See also Wired Magazine, Feb. 06 and Studying the Emerging Global Brain.
2005: "Today, humanity's knowledge is stored in an exponentially increasing number of papers, books, emails and in other formats. No man and no machine can process this enormous amount of data and hence most of the knowledge gets reinvented, is duplicated across sciences, or is simply lost forever after a short period of time. However, to survive as a species, we will need to preserve our planet or find means to sustain life as we know it by other means. Besides achieving survival, we should aim to enable all human beings to live a healthy, productive and fulfilling life. Meeting these challenges requires the design of cyberinfrastructures that provide access to humanity's collective knowledge, data and tools and support the 'global brain' that is emerging on this planet."
