World-Mapping and World-Modelling revisitedHeiner Benking

Berlin

Please note:this presentation is done „ad hoc“ or „stand-by“ with only 2 days notice as the conference chair invited the presenter to fill an empty „slot“ and summarise the ICSU - CODATA CONFERENCE CONTRIBUTIONS done last year, where the FUTURE OF MULTIMEDIA was (is) not published (yet)!!

The presentation included the above contributions but focussed on the World MAP and MODEL aspects with a strong focus on Geoinformatics and Sustainability. So please follow the links to SUPER SIGNS and Superstructures, KNOWMAP Spacial-Spatial and the Systems Encyclopedia entries about mental models and a cognitive panorama, which were sections which are not included in the following slides, but were part of the actual presentation and essential to get a bigger picture of what was presented.

Please also note ! that is presentation focussed and is dedicated (see slides) to 1. Carl Ritter, 2. Foucault, 3. Charles Francois, and last not least Herbert Stachowiak.so please fasten seatbelts - and check out the following slides.

CARL RITTERWORLD MAPPING and WORLD MODELLING revisited

This invited “ad-hoc presentation is dedicated to Carl Ritter (1779 - 1859), who taught 40 years here in Berlin at the Humboldt University.

The father of systematic, general and comparative geography and made Geography leave the “box” of a specialist, elitist science operating just with lists and tableaus and made Geography reach the people. With strong focus on education, with the a Pestalozzi, he helped to look into geography as a vehicle to understanding the issues in their context and frame of reference.

Muster pattern method beyond just physical but as general and comparative geography historical element, contextual, situational, looking into frame of reference !

A work reporttowards developing shared models

for broader and contextual understanding and a concert of orienting generalizations for helping to overcome dualistic traps

and include specialist and generalistic cultural activities.

"man schafft einen anderen Raum, einen anderen wirklichen Raum, der so vollkommen, so sorgfältig, so wohlgeordnet ist wie der unsrige ungeordnet, mißraten und wirr ist."

2 D or 3 D -- Google Maps or Google Earth - Flatworlds or Deepworlds A challenge or another place to show ignorance and negligence and miss possible chances for

systems thinking and new learning - for seeing with „more (old and new) eyes“ and multiple perspectives in shared frames of references – see also Melbourne 1994.
