Abstract

Bibliometric analyses enable the measurement of scientific information and allow an evaluation of scientific productivity and efficiency within certain limits. On the other hand an ongoing interest in webometric analysis can be observed. Till now these two parts of informetrics research areas are separated in their interpretation. In this paper we will summarize our experiences in terms of providing a holistic view on both bibliometric and webometric studies with the help of TopicMaps based ontologies. We will explain the problems dealing with the visualization of quantitative aspects of TopicMaps with the help of a special framework. Finally we will give an outlook on the potential of ontologies providing an expanded view on the examined context.
