In particular, the analysis applies to the selected Polish technical universities. The research was carried out in several phases - on different data groups - with regards to the Internet space and time changes. The results have been presented in a form of two and three-dimensional topography maps. For the purposes of this analysis, the computer methods of multidimensional scaling were used. The research will be further continued for a selected group of objects over a longer time frame.
