Abstract


In this paper we propose an information system that allows the graphic representation of the Spanish research. The representation is composed by a collection of maps –an atlas– that follow three basic objectives:
• To give to the the researchers a tool for the analysis of the scientific fields structure and research fronts. The principal goal of the system is to provide a powerful interface with the knowledge domains.
• To develop a graphic interface as a navigation tool through semantic spaces in the maps. This interface gives access to a specific systems called Digital Libraries.
• To represent the evolution of the production in both institutional and knowledge domains, with dynamic maps, that can be useful to analyse the future trends in scientific research.
