InfoRapid KnowledgeMap 2005e

InfoRapid KnowledgeMap 2005e offers you a free powerful mind mapping program and knowledge management system.

InfoRapid KnowledgeMap can be used to draw knowledge maps, organizational charts, decision trees and work breakdown structures, taking down your ideas when brainstorming, or generating structure diagrams from XML files. Knowledge maps can be published on the Web or your intranet, can be added to WinWord, Excel and PowerPoint documents, and can be printed in almost any size you choose.

The program contains a complete Knowledge Management System suitable for use at home, at work or on the company intranet. Its intelligent KnowledgeMap server analyzes text document content and integrates it with a knowledge map.

The Private Edition is not functionally limited in any way and does not expire after any certain number of days. However, unlike the Professional Edition, the program displays a small reminder in the diagram that it has been created with InfoRapid KnowledgeMap. This bit of advertising is intended to acquaint a wider audience with the capabilities of the program, and is your contribution for using the program at no cost.

Major Features:

1. InfoRapid KnowledgeMap is a complete Knowledge Management System suitable for use at home, at work or on the company intranet. The suite consists of two components: an image-editing (drawing) program for creating graphically sophisticated mindmaps, and the intelligent KnowledgeMap server, which analyzes text document content and integrates it with a knowledge map.
2. Use the Drawing Program not only for knowledge maps but for organizational charts, decision trees, and work breakdown structures, taking down your ideas when brainstorming, or generating XML files from structure diagrams. Knowledge maps can be published on the Web or your intranet, can be added to WinWord, Excel and PowerPoint documents, and can be printed in almost any size you choose (the program automatically adds cut marks at the edge of the printed sheet.)
3. The KnowledgeMap Server can import text documents in HTML, RTF, WinWord or PDF format, analyzing them and summarizing them in a knowledge map. Externally the KnowledgeMap Server appears as a normal webserver, meaning you can use your Internet browser to view knowledge maps. This allows seamless integration with your company’s existing intranet.
4. The Knowledge Map itself contains a graphical overview of each document with the most important items and text excerpts. Items are ordered hierarchically, as in mindmaps, and grouped by content type. The purpose of the content overview is to give you a good idea in the shortest possible time of the nature and content of selected documents. From the content overview, a hyperlink takes you to another page, showing similar documents dealing with the same subject matter. From this page you can easily navigate to those documents that are of interest to you. You enter the Knowledge Map by way of an index page, listing all documents in the Knowledge Map and offering a full-text search capability like that of well-known Web search engines. This full-text search is the ideal entry mechanism to the Knowledge Map. If you find only a single document that looks interesting from the index, click the „Similar Documents“ link and navigate to it from there.
5. InfoRapid KnowledgeMap is also a great tool for Collecting Information. As a background process, the program inserts in a diagram all the keywords and images from online material you copy to the Windows clipboard. Structure and format the information via drag-and-drop, and in just a few minutes you’ve created a sophisticated graphical diagram displaying the most important of the information from material you review.
