The Knowledge Maps have been my first attempt for creating a design-driven data visualisation!

During my time at the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft (Institut für Medienkommunikation), I participated in the development of the netzspannung.org Knowledge Maps. The basic idea behind these visualisations is to graphically present and communicate the content of the netzspannung.org database as well as visualising metadata about the content. The graphical visualisation presents the data in a intuitive way, so the constellations of the data form a statement about their contextual sourroundings..

 
 

The Knowledge Maps are part of the netzspannung.org project that was lead by Monika Fleischmann and Wolfgang Strauss at the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft - Institute for Media Communication. The netzspannung.org project was funded by the German Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF).
