  • [CV4-9] Spatialization
    Cartographers have recently become involved in extending geographic concepts and cartographic design approaches to the depiction of non-geographic data archives, using so-called spatialized views of information spaces. Spatializations differ from ordinary data visualisation and geovisualisation in that they may be explored as if they represented spatial information. (Fabrikant, S.I., 2003). As definitions of spatialization can be found: Spatializations are computer visualizations in which nonspatial information is depicted spatially (Montello et al., 2003). Spatialization is the transformation of high-dimensional data into lower-dimensional, geometric representations on the basis of computational methods and spatial metaphors. (Skupin 2007)
