Conzilla - Towards a Concept Browser
Mikael T. I. Nilsson, Matthias Palmér · 1999
We have designed the basics of an architecture for working with distributed mind-maps containing connected concepts. This involves designing a static representation of concepts and mind-maps for storing and transmitting designing an application programming interface (API) for working with concepts and mind-maps designing a way to browse an interconnected network of such mind-maps. The concepts and mind-maps are represented statically in Extensible Markup Language (XML), in a modular way. A general class library written in Java for manipulating concepts and maps has been developed, as well as a browser named “Conzilla” using the library. Our work is meant to be used as part of of a distributed interactive learning environment that is being developed at Center for user-oriented IT-Design (CID), at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden. It has been supervised by Tekn. Dr. Naeve, who is a senior researcher at CID.
