Exchanging mind maps with XMIND

This is one entry in the 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: RoyGrubb [at] the above domain.

  Mind mapping software:
XMIND

Can read or write MindManager 5, 6, 7 mind map files (.mmap), and FreeMind 0.8.0 and 0.9.0 map
files.

The XMIND file can be opened by renaming it as a zip file, and using compression software.


  Can accept files from:


Directly:

- Mind map files (.mm) from FreeMind 0.8.0 and 0.9.0
- Mind map files (.mmap) from MindManager 5, 6 or 7


  XML schema or file format description file:


The FreeMind schema that XMIND 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. Two key documents
are held as local copies that can be downloaded here: Mindjet MindManager Application
Schema.doc
and Mindjet MindManager Application Schema.mmap
