| Zusammenfassung: | <jats:p>EDITOR'S SUMMARY</jats:p><jats:p>From early cartography to modern science maps, visual presentations facilitate understanding of large amounts of data. A traveling exhibit entitled <jats:italic>Places and Spaces: Mapping Science</jats:italic> has presented outstanding maps illustrating different designs and applications since 2005. The 10th year of the exhibit focuses on the future of science mapping and features five maps described in this special section of the <jats:italic>Bulletin</jats:italic>. Topics include the history of physics and key contributors, the development of the Internet and the structure of fields and topics in science and technology. Each emerged from latent relationships among elements in large volumes of data, made clear through visualization in an easily understandable format. Given high quality data, processing tools, design and analysis expertise and research funding, science mapping can be expected to expand in application and usefulness. Key challenges include insufficient numbers of experts, lack of sophisticated tools, low literacy in data visualization and absence of design standards.</jats:p> |
