Hi, my NGO recently produced a webmapping on 12 European countries. This maybe interest some of you.
"The first aim of the EuroSiS project is to explore and understand the large, open and dynamic topics dedicated to science in society on the web through the collective construction of a mapping tool. The results of EuroSiS activities consist in a collection of SiS-maps including themes and actors at different levels of analysis (common European themes, national and national neighbourhoods SIS themes, particular themes through national and European dimensions...).
It consists also in the elaboration of a common description schemes and a collective vocabulary for resources description among 12 NCPs involved.
As regards to methods and tools, EURO-SIS mapping project is based on:
A) Use of visualization for communication/promotion of EuroSiS project
B) Production of graphical synthesis of large sets of data
C) Extraction of visual patterns from web data analysis (centre, periphery, clusters, levels of hierarchy, borders...)
D) With different levels of data (zoom) and analysis of SIS European themes.
E) And preparing an information archiving process on specific topics and, beyond, and possible Web Information System (or portal) dedicated to European SIS domains."
You'll find the documents but also the raw data and statistics.
