Revising the Map: Modulated Mapping and The Spatial Interface piim.newschool.edu/journal/issues/2009/02/pdfs/ParsonsJournalForInformationMapping_Hight-Jeremy.pdf
Volume I, Issue 2 This quarter's issue of the Parsons Journal for Information Mapping (PJIM) brings another wide variety of innovative, creative, and unique projects completed by our worldwide group of contributors. We showcase two interactive projects along with two well-researched and provoking essays. While this marks our second issue our Editorial Board has seen a vast majority of interest in the concept of globalization and its affect on social interactions among the world's inhabitants. The projects and essays in this issue bring forth various examples of global, local, geospatial mapping, and social connectivity. We thank all of our contributors for their excellent work and proudly present their successes to our subscribers.

Abstract The map can be active, malleable, open source fed, and even, in a sense, intelligent and able to adapt. The possibility also exists for this map to have a function that based on key words will search databases on-line to find maps, animations, histories and stories etc to place within it for your study and engagement. The map is thus a platform and yet is active. Community is possible as people can communicate graphically in works placed on the map and in building mode in the tool. All the tropes of locative media are to be in a mapping system of channels of augmentation and a spatial net. The software by design will allow development on the map and communication like programs such as second life but in mapping itself.
