You mean like HWB & KC did a couple years back at one of the IEPG
meetings? Or the in-addr <-> delegate map that was presented at the IEPG
meeting in Chicago in 1998? Granted, it was a fairly high-level map w/o
lots of detail. Much more could be done, including doing a really goofy
mapping of ASN, prefix, delegation triples.
