          Abstract

          Analizando los sitios web de universidades de diferentes países es posible construir mapas que reflejen gráficamente las relaciones que se establecen entre ellas, utilizando para ello nuevas técnicas de representación de la información como el análisis de cocitación de sitios web (análisis de cositación) y el escalamiento multidimensional (MDS). Pretendemos demostrar que estas relaciones no son ajenas al mundo real, y que siguen un patrón político, en lugar de un patrón académico, permitiéndonos construir auténticos "mapas geopolíticos" de Internet. Proponemos utilizar este tipo de representaciones como una herramienta para el análisis sociopolítico de la realidad, ya que con estos mapas obtenemos una instantánea de una región geográfica y un momento determinado, de la que es posible extraer nueva y valiosa información.

          Translated abstract

          Based on university website analysis, from different countries, maps can be built up that show visual relations among them. New information representation methods are used, such as web site cocitation (cositation analysis) and multidimensional scaling (MDS). An attempt has been made to demonstrate that these relations are closely tied up to the ones established in the real world, and that they suit a political pattern instead of an academical one, allowing us to generate Internet "geopolitical" maps. Our proposal is to use this kind of representations as tools for the social-political analysis of the real world environment. A snapshot can be gotten of a particular geographical region in a specific time, whereof new and valuable information can be obtained .
