Olha não encontrei um nome específico mas encontrei uma descrição dos
autores sobre o mapa (ver abaixo), e pelo o que eles escrevem parece que
é uma ferramenta para representar mapas políticos, tipo cidades, países
e continentes.
" The map was created by taking the names of all the distributions of
Perl modules on CPAN and arranging them in alphabetical order. This has
the effect of grouping together distributions that share the same
top-level namespace. The long list of names (a single dimension) was
then mapped onto a two dimensional plane using the Hilbert curve
algorithm. The important property of the algorithm is that a sequence of
consecutive items from the list will end up physically close to each
other on the plane. Areas on the map are then assigned colours similar
to the way colours are used on political maps to distinguish the borders
of adjacent countries.
To reduce the visual clutter, only the larger namespaces are coloured.
Namespaces containing 30 or more distributions are said to have reached
critical mass and are assigned a colour which differs from the colours
of all the immediate neighbours. Namespaces with fewer modules are
submerged below the light blue primordial soup. Over time as new
modules are uploaded, new areas will rise; continental drift will move
and reshape the existing areas; and existing areas will change colour. "
