What software do you use to do the ontology map? I've been looking for something like this for a project. Actually, I'd like something even more interactive, like the code behind the Visual Thesaurus <http://www.visualthesaurus.com/ >.

Dear Geowanking Subscriber,

The ECOresearch Network has just released a geotagged news archive on the US Presidential Election 2008. The system gathers and annotates documents from blogs, environmental organizations, the Fortune 1000 and news media from the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand. Processing these sites
yields more than 800,000 documents each week.

The tightly coupled interface integrates geographic maps with information landscapes, ontology graphs and tag clouds to reveal both geographical and
semantic relationships. Each visualization is implemented as a Web Map
Service and displayed via OpenLayers.

Besides geotagging the documents, the system identifies (i) attention by counting references to a candidate, (ii) sentiment towards a candidate by looking for co-occurring positive and negative expressions, (iii) keywords
reflecting the most important topics associated with a candidate. The
weekly statistics are available at
http://www.ecoresearch.net/election2008.

I look forward to your feedback; please e-mail me if you know of similar
initiatives or have suggestions for improving the system.

Best regards, Arno Scharl
