What they say:  " Inxight VizServer makes it simple to set up visual information environments, promoting greater and more effective use of existing information assets without burdening IT departments with custom software development and complex application management challenges. By making information easier to see and understand, Inxight VizServer creates true value from information assets by placing relevant information at the fingertips of employees, customers, and partners. It enables users to make faster, better informed business decisions.

Star Trees are interactive maps that help users easily navigate large amounts of information. Users can quickly view and understand whole websites, information directories, catalogs, organization charts and other large document collections. Star Trees can be created and shared by any end user using Star Tree Studio with its website crawling and rich design functionality."
Observations:  Startree diagrams are closer to concept maps than mindmaps, in that they do not have a single central topic. The ability to drill down quickly and have the scene re-drawn on the fly and have multiple parents for a node makes Startrees similar to Thinkmap, Brain and 3D Topicscape.

Articles
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.


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.
