Sociomapping

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Sociomapping is a method developed for processing and visualization of relational data (e.g. social network data). It uses the data-landscape metaphor, creating a visually coded picture resembling a map that can be interpreted with similar rules as navigation in the landscape. This picture is called a Sociomap.Due to its visual coding Sociomapping enables usage of learned skills for spatial orientation and movement detection, which people use in everyday life. It allows simple monitoring of changes in the mapped system by visual comparison of two Sociomaps.
