“…Remarkably, 1579 is the year with the highest rate of epistolary exchange, with 2,620 letters [7]. This commercial correspondence provides an interesting source of a personal nature abounds ("this is a sorry land for trading") that is intertwined with more objective data ("the wheat was sold at 16 ducats").…”

“…Therefore, these business letters are an extraordinary source of information on how Simon Ruiz's commercial network operated at the time. Remarkably, 1579 is the year with the highest volume of epistolary exchange: 2620 letters (Poló nia et al, 2009). This paper describes the GertrudeMapper prototype tool, which was designed to help historians enhance their intuition through a visual exploration of the unstructured text in a set of business letters.…”

Many kinds of text documents (e.g. newspapers, reports and letters) provide a potential source of geo-referenced information that is often underutilized. In interaction design, the use of dynamic icons and animation plays an important role in creating a sense of interactivity and feedback with virtual worlds. This paper shall focus on developing an interaction design approach for improving information retrieval from text sources as well as their interpretation. To this end, the GertrudeMapper prototype is presented as a particle system based on an interaction design approach developed by a designer and a cartographer. The resulting prototype may be contemplated in the context of computer art, but it also has a practical aim: to help historians enhance their intuition through the visual exploration of unstructured text in a set of business letters. These letters were obtained from Simón Ruiz's archive. The prototype is available at http:// www.dyncoopnet.eu/gertrude

“…Asimismo se ha estudiado, aunque no utilizando herramientas de análisis de redes sociales, la influencia de la pertenencia a grupos políticos en la rama revolucionaria de Vermont también durante la revolución americana (Hillmann, 2003). Para el caso del imperio portugués un aporte como el de Polónia y otros (Polónia;Barrios;Nogueira, 2011) revela el rol desempeñado por la geografía en la intensidad y regularidad de los contactos con los flujos de comercio entre la metrópolis y las colonias de ultramar a través del uso de redes de comercio. En el otro extremo del mundo, encontramos un estudio de las redes de mercaderes y su interacción del Sydney colonial como una estructura que mitigaba la incertidumbre económica de un proyecto colonial en ciernes (Johns;Ville, 2012).…”
