Concept Maps
GOD | May 28 2006
Haven't seen anyone talk about this so I thought I would share. Concept maps are similar to mind maps, but I think they are better because you have much more freedom in terms of structure and the explicit need to define the relationship between items is explicitly built in. Anyone have any experience with them?

I think I like this more than a mind map. It helps you explain things to yourself a bit better. Mind maps have seemed almost random when I do them. Just thoughts floating around that get attached to each other. This, like you said, makes it all explicit which I like a lot more. Thanks again for the link! »

Seriously, though, I agree with Solidsnot. This way of defining objects and relationships makes much more sense to me than a traditional mindmap. Every time I draw a diagram I always write words along my arrows that describes the relationship between the objects that they connect. »
