Multi-Level Graph Representation for Big Data Arising in Science Mapping

This Dagstuhl Seminar will bring together researchers in cartography, information visualization, science of science, and graph drawing to discuss novel graph mining and layout algorithms and their application to the development of science mapping standards and services. We will also organize an exhibition of art contributed by scientists and science maps contributed by artists, and use this to stimulate discussion. One of our main goals is to create a special journal issue on the topics related to the development of the next generation science map, SciMap2020. Among others, we will aim to answer: What data is most robust to design SciMap2020? What information should the nodes and link encode in SciMap2020? What user experience metaphors, functionality, and interactive user interfaces are best? What user studies should be run to compare options and study knowledge gains?
