Carbon

Carbon (100)

· Carbon is one of the few elements known since antiquity.

· There are several allotropes of carbon of which the best known are graphite, diamond, and amorphous carbon.

· All carbon allotropes are solids under normal conditions with graphite being the most thermodynamically stable form.

· The most common oxidation state of carbon in inorganic compounds is +4, while +2 is found in carbon monoxide and other transition metal carbonyl complexes.

· The largest sources of inorganic carbon are limestones, dolomites and carbon dioxide, but significant quantities occur in organic deposits of coal, peat, oil and methane clathrates.

Boron: Wikipedia Visual Summary by WikiSummarizer

This Visual Summary presents the keywords and the key summaries of the Wikipedia article about "Boron". The Visual Summary map was automatically created by WikiSummarizer.

Here is a link to the "Boron" Visual Summary for navigation in your browser.

Wikipedia article: Boron

Boron (100)

· Boron is a metalloid.

· However, boron is concentrated on Earth by the water-solubility of its more common naturally occurring compounds, the borate minerals.

· Chemically uncombined boron is not found naturally on Earth.

· Industrially, very pure isolated boron is produced with difficulty, as boron tends to form refractory materials containing small amounts of carbon or other elements.

· Several allotropes of boron exist: amorphous boron is a brown powder and crystalline boron is black, extremely hard (about 9.5 on Mohs' scale), and a poor conductor at room temperature.

Context Organizer pinpoints salient information quickly

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

David Esko of ERP Blue Diamond owns a company specializing in providing knowledge and mind maps for SAP customers. His company developed hundreds of process and knowledge maps. Their preferred visualization tool is MindManager from Mindjet.

In the past few months David started to use Context Organizer for MindManager. Here are his comments:

Since I work in the SAP world as a project / program manager, my knowledge and process maps are exercised heavily!

I use Context Organizer extensively to generate summary information that relate to generation of sales and pre-sales content when researching industry vertical information as well as information regarding the latest best business practices and how the solution will apply to my prospect or client.

If I’m helping a sales effort, I can turn the summarized information that has been gleaned from very voluminous web sites, and spin a fact filled PowerPoint presentation so fast, most sales people wonder how I did it!

Best business practices are done in a similar way. In these instances, I need to go to multiple sources of data that are mostly web based, but also in huge Word documents and extract information regarding the way a prospect executes their business processes today (as is), but also compare it to future state business processes.

Two major time savers; first, older and voluminous ‘as is’ documentation needs to be summarized very quickly. My teams don’t generally waste a lot of our clients’ time on the way they perform their business processes today. That’s why we need to extract the salient information from their document archives quickly and extrapolate the critical from the non-critical information.

We compare the ‘as is’ results to the ‘to be’ future state and we can almost instantly identify where the bottlenecks might occur before diving into the project. The keywords for me are, proactive and pre-emptive! Context Organizer gives me these abilities!

Context Organizer in Comapping

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Gene Bellinger uses Comapping – a mind mapping application - to manage numerous projects and collaborate with various teams. He is also the editor of SystemsWiki.

As we know reading articles in Wikis can be very arduous. This is where Comapping’s visual presentation power comes very handy!

Mind mapping offers a refreshing presentation that is much easier absorbed by human brains then endless lists and bullet points. The power of mind maps is that they communicate conceptual relationships by creating clear visual structure and connectivity between relevant elements.

However, the challenge of actually drawing a mind map is quite considerable. Each element has to be rendered and labeled and connected. And here comes the power of automatic mind mapping enabled by Context Organizer that now is integrated with Comapping.

In the Context Organizer in Comapping post Gene provides a simple comparison of a Wiki page before and after automatic mind mapping. As you can see, the difference is startling: from a difficult to read page to a clear visual and vibrant presentation done just with a click of a button.

This is what Gene says about the usability and accuracy of Context Organizer automatic mind mapping ability:

The keyword analysis and context generation to the right of those links [after] was generated with a single mouse click. I’ve reviewed the analysis on several documents and I think it’s spot on. What’s the math telling you?

With Context Organizer in Comapping you can instantly convert plain textual information into visually attractive mind maps with a simple click to have both: powerful knowledge mining and knowledge representation tool under your fingertips!

What can you do with Context Organizer?

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

As we all know, the home page is "the most valuable real estate in the world" according to the usability guru Jakob Nielsen.

The homepage is your company’s face to the world. Improving your homepage multiplies the entire website’s business value, so following key guidelines for homepage usability is well worth the investment.

So I took another look at the Context Discovery home page. Certainly you can find there a lot of valuable information and links but reading requires to pay attention. And attention nowadays is at premium.

So I decided to use Comapping, a mind mapping tool, that uses also Context Organizer – the summarization tool that we highly recommend – and present the information visually.

So here is the mind map telling what Context Organizer does together with the links to the demos showing the tremendous value of summarization in the age of information wealth.

Any comments are greatly appreciated.
