Map Interpretation

A first reading of the map is that it shows two significant clusters -- the information policy grouping -- including eff.org, epic.org, edri.org -- and an open source grouping -- including dyne.org, freaknet.org. Open source appears to be rather distant from the information policy circles. Intriguingly, the event site, whatthehack.org, is closer to the information policy grouping than to the open source cluster, suggesting that the event itself is considered more important (by the information policy people) than the open source community actually working on it on a daily basis. The map appears to show that events such as What the Hack (as opposed to everyday practice) are an object of information policy interest.

Mapping Method

Co-link analysis of outlinks from the list of sites below, with one iteration of co-link analysis, by page, three levels deep, with privileged starting points (which means that the seed URLs appear on the map if they receive one or more links from the network).
