"Satellite" maps of AlphaWorld, a large 3D multi-user virtual worlds run by ActiveWorlds. The aim of these maps is to provide a sense of the "lie of the land" of an information domain to aid searching and data retrieval. Sophisticated information indexing and classification methods are employed to produce these maps. They can be seen as analogous to conventional landuse maps used in city planning. These example cybermaps represent Cyberspaces as two dimensional maps. ![]() An Atlas of Cyberspaces - Information Space Maps ![]()
