What they say:  " We have developed a new program, Dendroscope, for the interactive visualization and navigation of phylogenetic trees. The program provides all standard tree visualizations and is optimized to run interactively on trees containing hundreds of thousands of taxa. The program provides tree editing and graphics export capabilities. To support the inspection of large trees, Dendroscope offers a magnification tool. The software is written in Java 1.4 and installers are provided for Linux/Unix, MacOS X and Windows XP.
Dendroscope is a user-friendly program for visualizing and navigating phylogenetic trees, for both small and large datasets."
Observations:  This is mapping in a very specialised area, showing evolutionary connections, but I dare say it could be stretched to other forms of hiearchical visualization!

What they say:  " This is a prototype of an HTML5 based mind mapping application. It lets you create neat looking mind maps in the browser. Be aware that it is under development and does still lack some essential features.
But did you know that it is available offline? You can use the app wherever you are, there is no need for an internet connection, everything happens inside your browser on your machine.
Feel free to send me any suggestions you might have or even contribute to the project on github.
Why?
There are many mind mapping applications out there. However, the desktop apps are often bloated and not intuitive, and most web apps charge you for premium features.
This one is free, open source and it's full of HTML5 goodness.
You spend most of your time inside your browser anyway. Why not create your mind maps here as well? This app tries its best to deliver you a smooth user experience that you know from desktop software products.
Requirements
You need a decent web browser that implements all HTML5 functionality and offers support for CSS3. Chrome 10+, Firefox 3.6+, Safari 5+, Opera 10.6+, IE9+ should do the job."
Observations:  'Mindmaps' is a simple mind mapper written in HTML5, but effective within the limits of what it sets out to do. It focuses on ease of use, and even offers step-by-step instructions when you open the site.
It gives you plenty of control how and where you place the nodes.
Although this runs in a browser from a web address, it does not store the map online. Instead you have a choice of saving the map to local HTML5 storage, or as a normal file on your PC.
There is also a Chrome extension called MindMappr, based on David Richard's open source code. That can be installed from here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/njkigggmlihigheckmmebgogbgdmllpo but at the time of writing (Nov 2011) this version, unlike DRichard Mindmaps is unable to save the map as a file that you control - it can only save in your local HTML5 store, which is not very safe.

With Argunet you can create argument maps of complex debates and argumentations. For teamwork, you can create your own project on the Argunet Server."

Articles
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.


Knowledge mapping for communities

Here's an interesting slideshow in which authors Simon Buckingham Shum and Alexandra Okada make a case for a move away from text towards knowledge or mind mapping presentation in a knowledge community. Their objective is to change cognition, no less.

Visual mapping and recession-proofing your job

It looks like businesses are in for a tough time in 2008 and beyond. If your employer downsizes, how can you take steps to make sure you're one of the survivors?
