Exchanging mind maps with MindCad

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:

MindCad

I have no information on the MindCad format itself.

MindCad can currently only export and import mind maps via OPML. OPML is a flexible
(some say loosely-specified) XML schema designed for recording outlines. It therefore
carries only a subset of the information required for a mindmaps.

The publisher of MindCad say that they are in the process of switching to a more complete
XML schema.

Anyone using this to make an XSLT for conversion to other software is invited to submit
it here for general use.
