Web Summarizer and mind mapping on the iPad

Monday, August 30th, 2010
 
One of the advantages of cloud services is the ability to access your information over the web from any device, any operating system and any browser.  This provides great flexibility and eliminates many barriers on using and sharing information.
 
Context Discovery specializes in bringing summarization solutions to empower users by converting web pages and documents into instant summaries.  You can think about summarization as document search engine instantly pointing you to the most relevant information.
 
Recently we deployed the Web Summarizer for our beta users. The Web Summarizer offers summarization of web pages and creation of knowledge repositories. Another feature is to provide mind mappers the ability to convert web pages and documents into mind maps.  
 
When recently Brian Friedlander started to use iPad, he tested it with the Web Summarizer. First he accessed the Web Summarizer application and created summaries on the iPad. And secondly he created mind maps from the summaries. Since Mindjet MindManager does not offer yet an iPad version the mind map was automatically created using iThoughstHD.
 
For details you can check Brian’s excellent blog:  Context Summarizer on the iPad
 

If you would like to learn more about the summarization technologies please download Context Organizer for free today.

Context Organizer is available in English, French, German and Spanish.

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 for MindManager and SharePoint

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

 

On February 23rd, 2010, Mindjet announced MindManager for SharePoint.  Michael Deutch writes on the Mindjet blog:

MindManager for SharePoint provides faster and easier ways to find, organize and update SharePoint tasks and information. With MindManager for SharePoint, you can create personalized interactive views (maps) of SharePoint data to save time accessing and updating your content within SharePoint.

 

Context Discovery Inc. is glad to announce that Context Organizer for MindManager supports SharePoint. The same capability of automatic generation of MindManager maps by Context Organizer is extended to SharePoint users.

 

Context Organizer for MindManager for SharePoint summarizes SharePoint documents and pages and instantly renders them as mind maps.

The primary challenge knowledge workers face is to make sense from reams of documents in SharePoint.  The automatic map generation frees the user from time consuming map charting while providing more opportunity to focus on shaping and editing the visually mapped information.

Using the build-in summarization, the MindManager and SharePoint users get to their key information faster, saving precious time and energy.

Context Organizer summarization is a powerful add-in to the knowledge worker’s toolbox. 

Context Organizer for MindManager with SharePoint is available in English, French, German and Spanish.

Mind mapping Seth Godin’s ideas in Linchpin

Monday, March 1st, 2010

 

In his new book - Linchpin - Seth Godin asks:

Why are some people easily outsourced, downsized, or freelanced into obscurity, while others have their pick of opportunities?

To answer it Godin argues that it’s more essential than ever to become indispensable - to become a linchpin. Linchpins are the essential building blocks of great organizations: they invent, lead (regardless of title), connect others, make things happen, and create order out of chaos.

The attached mind map of Linchpin was originally authored by fordprefect in Mindjet MindManager Version 8 and published on Biggerplate.  I imported it to Comapping to be able to share it as an interactive mind map.

To navigate the map just click on the + or  - markers to expand or contract the map.

  

* This mind map was produced using Comapping collaborative mapping software with
Context Organizer automatic summarization.

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…

 

 * This mind map was produced using Comapping online collaborative mapping software with Context Organizer Analyze auto-mapping add-on.

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!”

Summarization is an effective form of text mapping

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008
 

With the Context Organizer for MindManager a text summary is instantly converted into a MindManager map without any loss of relevant text content.

The automatic map generation frees the user from tedious map charting while providing more opportunity to focus on shaping the visually mapped information.

 

Summaries lead the mind to focus on essential content. This enables faster evaluation and comprehension.  While summarising, the reader effectively engages in efficient contextual comprehension by gaining both the big picture and the detail expressions.

 
Summarization reveals text structures, while contextual associations are clearly revealed through highlighted keywords.
 
The Context Organizer provides the reader with the most relevant keywords as a guide to the most significant statements within the body of text.  The keywords work as quick filters enabling users to focus on the most relevant sentences of interest.
 
Further, the use of keywords navigates the reader through summarized content providing a superior visual format which is a more practical manager to rapid comprehension of content in context.
 
The advantage of using summarization for text mapping is that summarization provides the most accurate and direct text representation in the form of the most relevant keywords and sentences.
 
This direct approach by Context Organizer is superior to other graphical techniques which are abstract representations of text and always require further explanation.  Information mapping is a record of the reader’s comprehension, or lack of it. It’s not uncommon for graphical mapping to have little to do with the text, and the formats often used make it difficult to interpret, leaving too much for the reader to extrapolate and/or reconstruct.
 
Graphic organizers indeed have their place, I do however believe that summarization as a text mapping technique, effectively complements graphic organizers, by bridging the gap between texts and corresponding abstracted diagramming.
 
A summary as a text map provides superior expression for creating accurate and complete visual maps. This is one of the reasons that Context Organizer integrates seamlessly with Mindjet MindManager.
 
With the Context Organizer for MindManager a text summary is instantly converted into a MindManager map without any loss of relevant text content. The automatic map generation frees the user from tedious map charting while providing more opportunity to focus on shaping the visually mapped information.
