Information Visualization

We can, however, find many examples of data that do not, nor cannot be easily brought to, fit this model. Let us give two examples. Consider first the information stored in this book. This consists of an amount of text, which can be described, at the lowest level, as a sequence of characters from the ASCII character set. At a higher level of organization, the text is structured into words, sentences, paragraphs, subsections, sections, and chapters. Besides the textual information, there are also images, which can be described using the dataset model in Chapter 9. Apart from the previous, there are also cross references in the text, such as the numbers that point to sections, figures, and bibliographic references.
The LwDITA Topic Components

The footnote component is composed of two elements: the cross-reference that calls it, and the actual footnote content. In the previous example, the cross-reference is calling a footnote with the @id value of “initial-fee” located in the topic with the @id value of “franchise-terms”. The actual footnote contains a paragraph with text.
Archival labyrinth: words, things and bodies in epistemic formation
Published in Tapuya: Latin American Science, Technology and Society, 2018
I thought to myself: “Wouldn’t it be a great idea to build a card catalog of his books? An archive of his archive!” I decided using notecards might be helpful so I went to the Yale bookstore and bought a packet of lined colored indexed cards where I detailed the books he was purchasing and how he read them. At the time, I imagined creating an alphabetized file of the index cards where I could then cross-reference each book or article with appearances in future references. Since he was simultaneously purchasing collections from individual collectors in South America to help buttress the Yale library, the vastness of it all eventually proved so overwhelming and ancillary to my questions that I ultimately dropped these threads, leaving that spur to follow another path. The index cards sit haphazardly in my filing cabinet awaiting resurrection. I can talk about the books he read or purchased for his library but an examination into what he consulted and how all of this precisely worked its way into his own practices and texts will have to wait. One day, I think, I will step back onto the path and revisit this question.
