  Knowledge maps are promising tools for visualizing the structure of
large-scale information spaces, but still far away from being applicable for
searching. The first international workshop on "Knowledge Maps and Information
Retrieval (KMIR)", held as part of the International Conference on Digital
Libraries 2014 in London, aimed at bringing together experts in Information
Retrieval (IR) and knowledge mapping in order to discuss the potential of
interactive knowledge maps for information seeking purposes.
