Patterns that connect: The value of mapping complex data networks Kahn, Paul,, 17, 176-187 (2009), doi = https://doi.org/10.1075/idj.17.3.03kah, publicationName = John Benjamins, issn = 0142-5471, abstract= Isometric overview diagrams can be used to synthesize and present complex information in a form similar to a geographic atlas. Given the pattern and shape of a geographic boundary, the reader can understand a variety of information – natural resources, population, historical events – superimposed on the underlying pattern. In the same way, information about complex data networks can be represented in a series of isometric diagrams superimposed on a similar pattern., language=, type=
