The software comes with pre-made graphics templates, tools for drawing, editing, linking and adding concepts. Whether you're introducing a subject to a class of young children, coming up with a new product, organising lecture notes, deciding on the decor for your home or writing a novel, concept maps offer a way of structuring information so as to aid comprehension and inspire new ideas.Ĭmap Tools gives you everything you need to translate your idea, approach or topic into a graphical format that's easy to understand. They're ideal for many different situations - great for groups and organizations and also perfect for individual planning, project development and decision making. Concept maps can be very useful for teaching they also make an excellent planning strategy. A concept map consists of "bubbles", each containing a specific item, with each bubble connected to related concepts by a line. We demonstrate this argument with a set of smart tools that have been implemented in the CmapTools software kit.Cmap Tools is a powerful software package that allows you to create "mind maps" or concept maps - graphical representations of interrelated data, items or abstract concepts. Our claim is that the compromise in the formalism in lieu of flexibility proposed by concept maps can be compensated, with the help of AI and smart tools, to help bring the best of both worlds to knowledge elicitation and representation. In this paper we propose that despite the free-style format that concept maps can take, specific characteristics of well-constructed concept maps (structure, semantics, context, etc.) provide an abundance of information on which to develop smart tools that aid the user in the process of constructing concept maps. However, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community frowns on the use of the term “knowledge representation” to refer to concept maps, because they cannot be readily translated to a formal representation for inference or other AI techniques. As such, it can be considered a knowledge representation scheme. We demonstrate this argument with a set of smart tools that have been implemented in the CmapTools software kit.Ībstract: Concept maps are a graphical representation of a person’s (or group of persons’) understanding of a domain.
