Abstract
A cartographic approach to mapping nongeographic information helps to manage graphic complexity in visualizations. It aids domain comprehension by forcing us to use the same cognitive skills we use when viewing geographic maps. The author presents a distinctly cartographic approach to mapping nongeographic information. Focusing on the text content of a set of conference abstracts, we can derive 2D visualizations of information spaces that address complexity and automation.Keywords
