If you are not familar with navigating information spaces here are a few directions to see some interesting cyberspaces.
These virtual 3-D maps allow full navigation of large information spaces through a three dimensional scenario.
These 3-D spaces are based on the Antarctica Map.net visualization engine:
1) Visualize/Browse/Search the Open Directory Project (ODP)
2) Antarctica Technology Powering an Interface to Canadian Venture Capital Data
3) Visualize, browse and search the Stacks of Belmont Abbey College

A great article on this topic is the one written by Natasha Netschay and entitled:
"A map is worth a thousand search results". Make sure you give it a good read as it contains valuable links to other very interesting information spaces.
Finally you can give a look to a few of my previous reviews on these interesting tools.
