  Map projection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, in understanding the concept of a map projection it is helpful to think of a globe with a light source placed at some definite point with respect to it, projecting features of the globe onto a surface.
The mapping of meridians to vertical lines can be visualized by imagining a cylinder (of which the axis coincides with the Earth's axis of rotation) wrapped around the Earth and then projecting onto the cylinder, and subsequently unfolding the cylinder.
Sinusoidal: the north-south scale is the same everywhere at the central meridian, and the east-west scale is throughout the map the same as that; correspondingly, on the map, as in reality, the length of each parallel is proportional to the cosine of the latitude.

 Mind map - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When compared with the earlier original concept map (which was developed by learning experts in the 1960s) the structure of a mind map is a similar, but simplified, radial by having one central key word.
Mind maps have many applications in personal, family, educational, and business situations, including note-taking, brainstorming (wherein ideas are inserted into the map radially around the center node, without the implicit prioritization that comes from hierarchy or sequential arrangements, and wherein grouping and organizing is reserved for later stages), summarizing, revising and general clarifying of thoughts.
The use of the term "Mind Maps" is trade-marked by The Buzan Organisation, Ltd. in the UK [2] and the USA [3], though the trade-mark does not appear in the records of the Canadian Intellectual Property Office [4].

 Height Map - Ogre Wiki
Height Map - A two-dimensional, generally 8-bit greyscale bitmap that is used to represent a three-dimensional mesh, generally terrain.
The value of each pixel in the map is translated into the height for a vertex or series of vertexes when constructing a mesh.
Generally, fl is "0" and white is "255", and the shades of grey in between are heights between 0 and 255.

 topicmap.com: Topic Map Wiki
It seems that it is time for a Topic Map Wiki - a Wiki which can support RDF/TM constructs.
Wikis have been amazingly successful because of the ease with which it is possible to write on a subject and then to hyperlink the subjects.
A Wiki which supported a syntax which allowed the object, predicate and subject of a triple to be represented by pages in the Wiki would be a very powerful system indeed.

The map is ment to visualize all the different TXP pages/projects.

With a tiered map it’d be easy to get an overall view and you could zoom into whatever project you want to find out about, and from there you could zoom in to the project’s contributors.

 Hypergene MediaBlog » Interview with Jonathan Mendez, co-creator of the Katrina Information Map
In just a few hours of coding, Jonathan Mendez and Greg Stoll were able to create what Wired News called A Disaster Map ‘Wiki’ for Hurricane Katrina.
Jonathan was able to share his thoughts about their Katrina Information Map project in an e-mail interview with us yesterday.
The idea for the map really sprang from my own need for information. My family evacuated to my home before the storm hit, and we then spent a lot of time just trying to find any information that we could about how their house was affected and about how friends had fared.

Of all of the websites tracking the Katrina disaster, surely one of the most remarkable is Scipionus.com.Visitors swoop down over a map of the Gulf Coast that's awash in hundreds of red teardrops, each denoting information about specific geographical points in the area.
Mendez turned to his co-worker, Greg Stoll, a 23-year-old software engineer who had experimented with Google Maps' API, and asked him to code a way for people to report and find damage assessments on a Google Map.
Jonathan Mendez: I've been reading stories about how journalism is going to the people in cases like this, so I figured this might pick up well from that, but at the same time, I had no idea how big it would get.
