What they say:  " Rapid and interactive creation of mind maps
Creating mind maps with Bookvar is as easy and funny as playing computer games. You can build your mind maps in a matter of seconds by using handy keyboard shortcuts. You can drag files from your computer and drop them in the mind map.

Stunning User Experience
Richer user interface built on top of Windows Presentation Foundation - Microsoft's next generation UI framework. Slick, user-friendly interface based on the Office Fluent Ribbon. Cool 3D animation effects.

Collaboration
Create mind maps together with your friends and colleagues. All you need is connection between computers. Each user receives a unique color which identifies topics created by him. Share thoughts and ideas using the integrated chat support.

Extensible Architecture
Use custom add-ins to extend Bookvar's functionality. Create custom skins to change the mind map appearance.

Rich Media Integration
Add images directly in your topics. Embed and play movies. Attach other resources to your topics as files.

Web Aware
Search for images directly from the web using Microsoft Live Services. Publish your maps to your Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. Attach links to web pages directly in your map's topics."
Observations:  This is at the "almost-Beta" stage at present and also requires a Beta version of MS .Net
This is desktop software but has a shared mode for collaboration via connected computers and support publication on a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server.

Screenshot mind mapping software Aviz Thought Mapper    
What they say:  " The Aviz ThoughtMapper is an extremely easy-to-use mind mapping tool. It supports full keyboard working and an intuitive interface. The appearance is highly customisable with schemes and images. It has in-built html documentation and can export to multiple output formats for data sharing and presentation. It is a fast and scalable java solution that has been through 5 major/minor releases. The product has been used as a Personal Information Manager, for writing documents, for activity tracking, metting minutes, brainstorming, requirements capture, creating marketing plans and presentations."
Observations:  Capable mind mapping software but ability to add images looks weak.

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.
