Stellar Cartography

This page links to a fair amount of stuff that is rather relevant to my project, so I will list the ideas I get from each project.

CyberAtlas
electric sky: I kind of like the idea of having some way for the user to view each page as they go to the representation of it. Firefox has an add-on that saves a page as an image... perhaps that image can be incorporated somehow.

intelligent life: Searching by category is a bit more complicated than what we would like to go into, but perhaps the interconnectivity of .coms, .orgs, and .nets can be represented in this manner.

digital techtonics: Making categories into different dimensions or compass points is an interesting idea, although I am at a loss to think of how this could apply to our category-less project.

Even though our idea of determining land mass of a planet via white space vs. content has been mostly discarded as being too difficult, it is perhaps possible on a smaller scale. I've seen neural networks mentioned here and there in some of these projects, and a collaborator actually told me that if we saved images of web pages and analyzed them as images, it would be possible to group pages together based on similarity. Web pages that have a mostly green hue could be grouped together, web pages that have similar amounts of images can group together, and etc. However nice of a concept it is, though, it is way out of the scale of our abilities.
