Hi Margit Hi Rafael Hi Katherine Hi Effie Great: the sound is good! Matthias is having some trouble entering Yes Yes!!! Hi Ambjorn! Hi Kevin! I Haven't seen you in such a long time! hi 2.6 like conzilla? Yes ok Fine ok great fine yepp yes fine yes I am. yes yes everything cool of course yes smiles all around yes yes http://labspace.open.ac.uk/mod/resource/view.php?id=18 is the one we are supposed to be looking at (too many windows ;-) i have 3 open windows now :-) So the semantics is entirely arbitrary? Nodes and link semantics are context-free... Mind maps get very complicated, very quickly ... Maps entail interpretatoin or maybe too open to interpretatoins :-) You aint signed in Rafael to play with the flashboard http://kmr.nada.kth.se/wiki/Main/KnowledgeManifolds yes, this is exactly the question in my mind - added value of Compendium as compared with other similar applications @Peter I shall get an account for the next time ;-) context free, i think? yes there is many applications :-) I'm not getting the new URL OK It doesnt change ok http://labspace.open.ac.uk/file.php/1/knowlegde_maps/1165309388/prolearn_example.html it's the first URL so these web maps are created by compendium... the asterisk about LOMI seminars has a rollover looks to me as if in the compendium view like there is no real distinction between content and concept; it looks like concepts are treated as shorthand or annotations of content... flexible but hard to determine semantics; as you can do anything right concepts are placeholders for the content? contents instanitate concepts? yeah, kinda structural/visual/abstracted annotations... @ Effie this would also reflect my understanding of concepts not so sure if this is meant here me either ;-) No, we are talking about conceptual guidelines for constructing maps So, I think you do have lots of different style guidelines Is this perhaps the templates in Compendium? but none, I think are enforced in any Compendium template... ambjorn, very good description between the three constructs indeed so (i think) this is not such a hard boundary in compendium I doen't seem so What is the underlying technology? Java + DBs + Jabber + ... Can you introduce different types of arrows? What about your own types? Arrow styles? Arrows are also typed likes stylesheeted? but arbitrary, i think? They are objects too (yeah, they an be annotated) Yes, that would be interesting. yes lots of windows ;-) Root url is http://kmi.open.ac.uk/projects/osc/compendium then amap for argument map ok mmap for miind map etc SO... you can easily publish these visual annotation maps... how about sharing them more actively as part of communication Betting on *isa* ;-) or "part of" heh, heh Peter, we don't have access to the compendium link. on the prolearn website?! Is there support in Compendium for these recomended description labels depending on map type? no Ok, I will do that. I think not; but not impossible in futre BIG aspect is sharing This is a key issue To break the "isolated island" wanna talk about sharing aspect in labspace, Ale? Can't see the flashboard see it now http://labspace.open.ac.uk/blocks/compendium/browsemaps.php?id=1 link works sorry have to go to a meeting.. great to see everyone, very interesting presentation bye everyone Once you register you can dowload, mess around with then upload yes sort of versioning control Are they layered then? So that you can see the evolution? thank you for your interesting presentation Absolutely Thanks, it was very informative Excellent Thanks a lot for this interesting presentation! Thanks for the presentation!! bye Bye!! Bye everyone! Bye bye! bye! bye Start of the Compendium Presentation
