Cartographie conceptuelle et didactique de l' information Sur le site de l' Académie de Nantes, voici une ressource intéressante proposée par Pascal Duplessis et fruit d'un travail collectif . Il s'agit là d'une étude complète et très bien documentée, accompagnée de diverses cartes conceptuelles de grande qualité. Le thème central est l' apport des cartes conceptuelles à l' enseignement de l' information documentation. "Il s' agira en particulier de montrer comment les cartes de concepts peuvent faciliter et accompagner le travail du professeur documentaliste". Ce travail s' adresse en premier lieu aux documentalistes mais l' analyse en profondeur de la méthode et la qualité des cartes en font un document de choix pour tous ceux et celles qui s' intéressent à la cartographie conceptuelle. Une dizaine de cartes sont téléchargeables ici au format PDF. Conceptogramme : les outils de recherche Le document Référence documentographique
The Best Tools for Visualization Visualization is a technique to graphically represent sets of data. When data is large or abstract, visualization can help make the data easier to read or understand. There are visualization tools for search, music, networks, online communities, and almost anything else you can think of. Visualize Social Networks Last.Forward: Thanks to Last.fm's new widget gallery, you can now explore a wide selection of extras to extend your Last.fm experience. Last Forward Friends Sociomap: Friends Sociomap is another Last.fm tools that generates a map of the music compatibility between you and your Last.fm friends. Fidg't: Fidg't is a desktop application that gives you a way to view your networks tagging habits.

Outillage pour les datavisualisations - WikiEtalab La mission Etalab, placée sous l’autorité du Premier ministre au sein du SGMAP, a pour mission d’accompagner l’ouverture des données publiques de l’Etat et des administrations. À ce titre, elle met en oeuvre et anime la plateforme ouverte des données publiques « data.gouv.fr » qui héberge les jeux de données et recense leurs réutilisations. A quoi servent les données ouvertes ? L’ouverture des données (Open Data) vise à encourager la réutilisation des données au-delà de leur utilisation première par l’administration. En utilisant, directement ou via des applications, des données publiées sur la plateforme « data.gouv.fr », on peut par exemple : « data.gouv.fr » s’adresse : Comment faire partie de la communauté « data.gouv.fr » ? En consultant le blog de la mission Etalab vous pourrez vous inscrire aux différents évènements (Hackathons, OpenData Camps, Conférences) organisés par la mission Etalab.
SourceForge.net: Fidgt Visualizer - Project Web Hosting - Open Source Software InfoVis CyberInfrastructure- Pathfinder Network Scaling Software > Radial Trees Description | Pros and Cons | Applications | Details | Usage Hints | References | Acknowledgments (Click image for better view) Radial tree layout uses focus + context (fisheye) technique for visualizing and manipulating large hierarchies. Many hierarchies, such as controlled vocabularies or file directory structures, are too large to display in their entirety on a computer screen. The Radial Tree package is available as part of the XML toolkit. DemoFile.java takes directory name as argument and visualizes its directory structure in Radial Tree layout. A radial tree layout places the selected/focus node in the center of the display. Start the XML toolkit, load a tree data set, and select 'Radial Tree' to display it. G. This Radial Tree package was developed as a final project of Information Visualization class, Spring 2003, SLIS, IUB by Nihar Sheth (nisheth@indiana.edu) and Qin Cai.
Ars Technica Guide to Virtualization: Part II In the previous installment of the Virtualization Guide, I talked in general ways about the exculsive hardware access privileges that the OS reserves for itself. Now it's time to nuance that picture a bit, so you can see exactly how the OS retains the upper hand over applications and users. This brief installment sets the stage for Part III, which will talk in some detail about Intel VT. A microprocessor does more than just blindly run whatever instructions are loaded into its front end, without regard for where those instructions came from. In order to keep applications from usurping any part of the OS's privileged access to system hardware, processors provide a mechanism that allows different programs to run at different privilege levels. The hardware/OS/application stack, with rings On any given processor, Ring 0 is the most privileged level, and any software that runs in Ring 0 is running in the most privileged state that the hardware supports.
