NetMapper

Cartography tool to visualize internet structures

NetMapper

NetMapper visualizes the intrinsic structures of the net as composition of objects in spatial space. The links between resources are examined and stored with further informations such as link depth or resource names. Finally NetMapper creates a VRML-view through which the user can navigate. Thus the user learns the structure by analyzing this view.
