Visualization of the e-library with Area
Area is a tool that allows to visualise the whole content of the e-library archive. It allows you to search inside the archive, showing which is the distribution of the materials.
Two examples of visualization of the e-library with Area:
-
Which is the language that have more collective authors at the E-library?
At the e-library there are texts signed by individual author or several authors, and there are texts signed by collectives (not individual authors but groups). This visualization presents which is the language in which is more easy to find collective authors. At the 26 of March it looks like the Catalan language is the one that facilitate more the collective writing. Is it also true today? Go to Area -
Are the women author more used to licensing their writing in Copyleft than the men authors?
At 24 of March 2007 the copyright is more used by men authors than by women authors. Does the e-library also confirm this preference of the women for Copyleft licensing today? Go to Area
Visiting Area you could also easyly create your own visualization of the contents depending on your prefernces.
