Screenshot mind mapping software All-in-1 Personal Organizer    
What they say:  " All-in-1 Personal Organizer (APO) is an ergonomic personal information manager (PIM) with three main uses. First, it's a tool for managing any kind of personal information such as tasks, events, contacts, notes, passwords, file links, and Web links. Second, it's a smart image viewer. Finally, it can be used as a mind stimulator useful for reflection, self-analysis, and self-improvement. All information is contained in a password-protected Microsoft Access 2000 database (however, you do not need to install Access 2000). The information is divided into up to 44 customizable domains and an unlimited number of categories. APO can display information not only as a grid or list, but also as a calendar, tree map, tag map, sticky notes, random maps, moving tags, and moving pictures, complete with auto-tiling, drag and drop, and various kinds of animations."
Observations:  Lacks the freedom of a graphs or maps interface so it's not to my taste, but some may like it.

Articles
Visual representation of knowledge

Here are some links to articles on the visual representation of knowledge by Sigmar-Olaf Tergan, an academic leader in the field

An overview of concept mapping

This is a 1997 article by Eric Plotnick, from the ERIC Clearinghouse on Information and Technology Syracuse NY

Concept maps and web research

For me, web research and concept maps are a good pairing. As I research - I build a map. As I map - I realise new areas that need research.
This papers variously by Arguedas, Cañas, Carnot, Carvalho, Dunn, Eskridge, Gram, Leake, Maguitman, Muldoon and Reichherzer have helped me to understand why, and see other possibilities.

Assessment by concept map

This piece discusses the nature of knowledge, the difficulty in measuring achievement in the three types of domain knowledge, and how concept maps offer one way of judging students' knowledge structure.

Framework for mind mapping

Here is a link to a set of free templates for many types of mind maps. This is good solid stuff, and if you have MindManager, there's no reason not to get it.
But if you don't have MindManager, well, there's still no reason to hold back - go and pick up the MindManager Viewer from MindJet's site. That is also free.
