This document provides an overview of analyzing dynamics of information and knowledge landscapes. It discusses structures without names in complex networks and how to name them. It also discusses where Wikipedia is going based on a Knowledge Space Lab project mapping design versus emergence. Finally, it discusses intangible libraries and archives with visual interfaces and graphical knowledge engines to browse collections. It provides contact information to join related events and working groups.
