R-Map: A Map Metaphor for Visualizing Information Reposting Process in Social Media

Description

R-Map is a visual analytical approach with a map metaphor to support interactive exploration and insight analysis
of the process of information reposting in social media. In R-Map, the reposting tree structure can be spatialized with
highlighted key players and tiled nodes. The important reposting behaviors, the following relationships, and the
semantic-changing relationships are represented as rivers, bridges, and routes, respectively, in a virtual geographical space.
