Exchanging mind maps with Comapping

This is one entry in Vic's collection of information about how mind mapping software can communicate. Some packages have a built-in capability to import and export to other types of mind mapping software. Some software authors have kindly provided information about the format of their mind map or interchange files.

This is a starting point, from which this go-to source for interchange information, already substantial, will grow. Let me know about any new information, or any mistakes you spot: Vic at the above domain.

Mind mapping software:

Comapping

Can import and export FreeMind maps or import MindManager mind maps.

Can accept files from:

Directly:

FreeMind (.mm) and MindManager 5, 6 or 7 (.mmap).

Indirectly:

3D Topicscape, Mind42, MindMeister, and WiseMapping because all of these can
export a FreeMind mind map (.mm) file. In addition, Mind42 and Mindomo because
they can export a MindManager (.mmap) file.

Can prepare files to be read by:

FreeMind and any other mind mapping software that can read a FreeMind mind map
file (.mm), namely 3D Topicscape, Mind42, MindMeister, Mindomo,
WiseMapping.

XML schema or file format description file:

I have no information on the Comapping format itself, but they have told me they
are willing to make their format public when it's ready.

The FreeMind schema that Comapping imports is available from freemind.xsd on
Sourceforge and there's a local copy here.

Here is the link to the MindManager 6 XML Schema on the MindJet site.
