Representing cyberspace using taxonomies and meta-data analysis

Abstract

Problem: Modeling and mapping the landscapes of emerging research fields, such as cyberspace. • Most research fields are composed of many subfields which are related in intricate ways, therefore structural organization of these subfields could be of great use. • Acquiring and analyzing such knowledge is hampered by the vast amount of data available in publications. • The need of database integration to enable the mapping of relevant component of the topic in hand (e.g. Cyberspace and International Relations).
