Mapping the Web Space Around the ACTA Debate

In her talk at the opening plenary of the Global Congress on Intellectual Property and the Public Interest, Vera Franz showed this graphic which maps the web space around the ACTA debate.  It shows the sites that drew most of the traffic, and the connections between them.  The graphic was made using a tool from issuemapping.net – a wiki where one can find “tools, case studies, recipes of online issue mapping developed over the last years by a variety of groups and initiatives including Goldsmiths Sociology, The Centre for the Study of Invention and Social Process (CSISP), the Digital Methods Intiative (University of Amsterdam), Mapping Controversies (Sciences Po Media Lab and others), and the govcom.org foundation (Amsterdam).”

 

The graphic is also available as a PDF.
