visualcomplexity.com?

visualcomplexity.com is a misnomer (shouldn't viz reduce complexity?) for a collection of visual representations of a.o.t. knowledge networks. (Got to this when trying to trace back the origins of 'information architect': 'web-people' say that this is a person who ensures usability, findability and maintainability of the content on a website, whereas corporate information people would probably argue that information architects model the corporate information that should be held by an organisation, preferably in an IT architecture, that may or may not be web-based, so a somewhat broader scope). Visual representations of, yes, knowledge should in my view, essentially convey meaningful relationships to its users (so I think: an information architect that makes a difference is an information architect that can create representations that convey meaningful relationships in a usable, maintainable and findable manner...). This site presents a broad collection of attempts of some 'information architects' to do so.
