Bruce W. Herr II is a Senior Software Developer at the Cyberinfrastructure for Network Science Center and Todd Holloway a Ph.D. student in Computer Science, both at Indiana University. Description of Unique Features: Here the same base map with a 37 x 37 grid of relevant half-inch sized images from Wikipedia is used. Overlaid are 3,599 math, 6,474 science, and 3,164 technology relevant articles. They are color coded in blue, green, and yellow, respectively. All other articles are given in grey. Exactly 8,181 articles are in one category, 2,348 in two, and 73 in three categories leading to interesting color mixtures. The four corners show smaller versions of the map with articles size coded according to article edit activity (top left), number of major edits from January 1st, 2007 to April 6th, 2007 (top right), number of bursts in edit activity (bottom right) and indegree, e.g., the number of times other articles link to an article (bottom left). These visualizations serve to highlight current trends and predict future editing activity and growth in science, technology, and mathematics related Wikipedia articles. We would like to thank WikiMedia Foundation for freely making data dumps available for research. Data Used: They previously mapped 659,388 Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org) articles and their editing activity, see scimaps.org/maps/wikipedia.
