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.

The Inimitable Comapping

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

 

Gene Bellinger uses Comapping – a mind mapping application - to manage numerous projects and collaborate with  geographically dispersed  teams.

Comapping recently added a feature that automatically creates mind maps from web pages and documents. The feature is called “Analyze”. Gene decided to give Analyze a spin. Here are his comments in his SystemWiki.org blog: 

While I have been continually amazed by Comapping they just added a new feature that is most amazing and for which I think experience is the only way to grasp the full utility of. The feature is called “Analyze”.

Imagine being able to attach a URL to a node in a mindmap and then telling the software to analyze the content of the node and build you an outline of the content based on an analysis of the relevance of the content.

Hard to grasp? I found it difficult to understand until I tinkered with it for a while. I’m still amazed! And you can attach a text, word or pdf document to a node and have it do the same analysis and build a content outline based on relevance directly into the mindmap.

If anybody is interested in learning how Analyze works with Comapping, here is more information about the Analyze feature in Comapping. And here is more information and examples of the auto-mapping capabilities.

Mind mapping Steven Covey’s “First Things First” quadrants

Friday, February 12th, 2010

 

Stephen Covey, in his book "First Things First", notes that those who accomplish great deal are spending a lot of time in the Quadrant of Necessity and the Quadrant of Quality & Personal Leadership while avoiding the Quadrant of Deception and the Quadrant of Waste.

The attached mind map of the quadrants was originally authored in MindManager from Mindjet by Chance Brown and published on  Biggerplate.

After importing the map into Comapping I experimented with some Comapping editing features by adding context to the original map using a link to Wikipedia’s article about First Things First.  And then simply used the Context Organizer Analyze feature in Comapping  to automatically generate the contextual summaries illustrating the map’s key points…or to put the mind map in context…

Rapidly visualize information with Context Organizer for MindManager

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

Mark Durieux who teaches sociology and authored Social Enterprenuership for Dummies uses Context Organizer for Mindjet MindManager. 
 
This is what Mark wrote about Context Organizer for MindManager:
 
“I thought you’d like to see something of how I’m using Context Organizer. In the first case (http://www.ourstory.com/thread.html?t=363005#448785), I used Context Organizer to help sift through an enormous amount of information regarding the recent cartoon racism controversy which, for many, linked President Barack Obama to the shooting of a chimpanzee in Connecticut. This was all over the internet for at least a couple of days and I had collected more than 40 single-spaced pages of excerpts and links.
 
In another case, I looked at the incident of the 3 year old boy who rode the NYC subway all by himself after leaving his mother at a McDonald’s (http://www.ourstory.com/thread.html?t=362728#448291).
 
Again, this was all over the internet and I’d collected many pages of excerpts and links. At any rate,  the point is that I have developed a workflow that lets me identify major ideas and themes in those huge compilations and then, around those themes and thanks to Context Organizer, quickly identify key sentences saturated with key words. From there , it is only a matter of minutes and some rearranging until I’m able to turn the meaningful and "rich" condensed information into a useful summary. Thanks a million for this terrific piece of software!”

Context Organizer automatically gets the context right within MindManager 8

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009
 
 
 
"I have been meaning to write about Context Organizer from Context Discovery for some time now and was recently reminded just how important this tool will become as we become increasingly inundated with information that we will be required to juggle in the work that we do."  
 
"Using Context Organizer you are able to quickly get the context of attached documents as well as web sites right within MindManager 8, that are visually displayed as topics and subtopics."
 
Context Organizer for MindManager identifies with 1-click the topics and related summaries and then automatically generates MindManager maps. The strength of this approach is its simplicity.  Once the user has the map automatically generated it is very easy to refine the map and present the issues.
