Hi All, (01)
Many thanks to all of you for your responses to my somewhat obtuse posting, a
great set of suggestions for further investigation. (02)
Have any of you similar suggestions for Topic or Mind maps? There seems to me a
great deal of overlap between Context, Topic and Mind maps. Is this just a
naïve conclusion? Is anyone aware of any comparative studies between the three
types of mapping techniques and representational elements? (03)
All the best,
York. (04)
