ABSTRACT
Portraits of the World WideWeb and the “place” of education information within three-dimensional visualizations of the World Wide Web have been rendered by numerous organizations for the purpose of “seeing” aspects of information communication and organization. In 1998 Lucent Technologies examined ways of mapping the World Wide Web (1), one of which was by suffix. The .edu visualization, accessible through the URL noted, is diffuse, interconnected, and dense. Other visualizations demonstrate applications of visualization software to imagine or project the “shape” of information on topics, coordinating topic with time among other variables. An Atlas of Cyberspaces (2) has numerous visualizations on topics that illustrate these possibilities and should be examined by the digital resource selector (3). Topical areas most viable for economic support could be mapped in this manner, which would aid in decisions by stakeholders in education information (government, information systems, libraries) on support for tools to access education information across the world.
