How often do you try to find the right documents about architecture stuff like SOA, Manufacturing, Composite Applications and more and your search delivers too much? It often happens to me. Architecture Content Map is another way of finding information in large amount of articles and documents. As they say it is a social network for articles, tags and authors. You navigate between tags, categories, authors and articles in stead of doing a search at google or msdn. Because of the visual representation of this navigation it makes it more intuitive.

Each visual component in the map has the ability to dive deeper into related information. In case of the categories you get the option to go to a map of authors or articles. It means that you can also find related content like for example authors writing related articles.

I expect that in the future search engines and ways of navigating finding the right content will be more and more visualized in stead of the current search fields found in any application. For information regarding the content map goto the following link:
