Risk-Cartography in Macospol


Since 2008, Risk-Cartography is used and evaluated within the euroean project Macospol: Mapping Controversies on Sciences for Politics. Macospol is funded by the European Commission under the seventh Framework Programme. For further information on the Macospol project visit http://www.macospol.org or contact Cordula Kropp (cordula.kropp(a)soziologie.uni-muenchen.de).


Video Tutorial - Now with English subtitles

We have added English subtitles to the Risk-Cartography video tutorial on YouTube.




Risk Cartography is online

The prototype of Risk-Cartography is online now. Please visit our tool on: http://riskcart1.wzu.uni-augsburg.de. Most of the main features have already been implemented. For a next version we are working on extra features like: chronology and views of discourse formations.




Below, you can find an collection of tests we did for evaluating other tools for mapping. We will continously add more tools from macospol.org to this collection. The aim is, to show the potential of the tools for mapping controversies by filling them with our case studies.
