13. Outlook
13
Culture of interdisciplinary presentations: rooting, placing
on a basemap of science
Embracing new technological possibilities
Still: Walking through collections with maps -
+ broader portfolio of Knowledge Maps
Make baseline statistics - and visualize -when starting
research - map your problem space & literature space
Education in Visualization - e.g. IVMOOC
