Concept maps are never "just drawings".
Therefore,
these maps are not in a simple image format. Instead they have been
produced with Knowledge Master, for higher quality and
functionality.
These
maps correspond to the respective author's criteria and points of
view. There are no limits to the creation of maps, only the author's
imagination can establish the limits.
If you
want to see or interact with these maps and do not own the
corresponding user's license, you may download the current software
version for a trial period.
To
download any of the beneath listed maps, just the its name to download
the file in your computer. Afterwards, double click the file icon: Knowledge Master
will import it (you must only choose the disk to store it).

Example
maps for organizations and business |
|
 Knowledge
base: "Project"
(9 k)
A small project for
the construction of a city is presented. Activity
network has associated some project documentation
(croquis, texts, annotations, Internet links, etc.).
The map is already structured in dimensions
(layers). Project tables have already been created
and associated to the map, with dates, durations,
cost data, and others.
This kind of knowledge
organization can be compared to that of a business
procedure or a production process, that can also be
endowed with logic.
This map can be used
as an example for companies, other organizations and
specialized schools that deal with this kind of
contents.
If when working with
tables and paths and their associated operations,
the need for the manual arouses, please ask our
support service for the manual.
Other examples about procedures,
system states and others, related to cognitive
organizational activity (enterprise, government,
consulting, etc.) using the IDEF3 standard are
presented in our online course
"Knowledge
Management in Organizations".

Concept
map "Phonics"
(6k)
A successful example of implementation
of the Phonics method for English language learning. Please install
some of our English voices, switch it on, and select "Semantic
paths". Create your exercises for teaching or self-learning. You can
enrich with texts, images or multimedia. Phonics, on Knowledge Master, is an open and extensible method. Different from "canned"
strategies, it can be customized to suit specific goals and
circumstances, at lower cost and with greater effectiveness.
This map is built on layers
("dimensions"), so it can grow indefinitely without affecting
perception.
Available paths: 4.
 Concept
map "Matter"
(87 k)
With this map, we don't want to present an
exhaustive point of view on the "matter" concept but just
to offer a starting point and a simple example of concept map on
the topic.
Deep mathematical, physical or philosophic insights
have not been included aiming at presenting the topic in a mode that may be
useful to every level, leaving to teachers, professors and students
the adjustments to specific needs, in the necessary direction.
Most concepts (43/47) have a descriptive text. Some
concepts such as "atom", "atomic weight"
and "periodic table" have associated a document that
exemplifies, expands or complements the concept.
For ease, and mostly just because, concepts have
been distributed in two dimensions, though it could have been done in
more than two, gaining a lower density in the main level.
Concepts have been
typified to enhance user perception.
No concept has been represented with an image: it has been the
author's decision.
This map is given free, without cost and it may be
freely distributed. If you are interested in this topic and you adapt it
anyhow, you can do the same: make it available to the others, it is a
full social revenue.

Concept map "The
Earth motions"
(3,4 M)
This maps describes the Earth motions,
the seasons and the phases of the day. Contains a video clip and
some images.
Concept map "Senses"
(323 k)
This is a knowledge base about senses,
for the elementary school level. To obtain a single map covering the
full subject, it has been built in layers, a layer for each sense.
Some concepts have a descriptive text and
there is a semantic path.

 Knowledge base "Ozone"
(4,5 M)
This knowledge base comprises most relevant concepts
related to ozone, such as a benefit and as a pollutant, with some extent to
environmental pollution. Most relevant concepts have some multimedia
support: 11 images, 3 videos and an HTML page with two more images.
Most concepts (25 at all) have a descriptive text.
This map is given at no cost and is freely
distributable.
If you are interested in this subject and make
meaningful changes to this map, we ask you to do the same: make it
available to all, for social wealth and culture.

 Concept
map "The
dinosaurs" (2.1 M,
in Italian)
The world of dinosaurs has caught the public's attention
with the film "Jurassic Park",
and ever since, specialists and amateurs of the dinosaurs all around
the world dedicate their time to search for (and discover) new
archeological deposits.
This map wants to offer a "scientific enough"
approach that, starting from some categories and generic information,
consents referring to time and space coordinates these
"monsters" that hit our fantasy because of their look and
names.
The map is structured in 5 levels and composed of 91
concepts, and is illustrated with images and photographs, that render
it pleasant and interesting.

 The "Italian civil
law" v. 1.0 (251.0 K, in Italian)
This conceptual
knowledge base, worked out by Dr.
Carlo Sia, lawyer, with the contribution of Maura Govi, contains most relevant concepts of the
Italian
civil law in a concept map structured in 19 layers.
Most concepts are supported with descriptive
text and a congruous number of documents for a deeper insight. The
capability of full
text and semantic searching largely improves this document, important
for students or people interested in the topic, and as an advanced
starting point for law professionals and research groups.
It does not pretend to be an exhaustive
work, but it surely is a good starting point: in fact, this product may be
redeveloped and adapted to suit specific or personal needs of students
and researchers.
This map, being an initial version, is distributed free to
licensed users of Knowledge Master.

 Knowledge
base "The
First World War" (complete
- 888 k, in Italian)
This map is a useful approach to the events and circumstances that
characterized the First World War, for students of junior and senior
High School.
Starting from Main dimension, in which causes, countries, events
and its consequences are represented, it is possible to access the
dimensions dedicated to nations or areas of specific interest, in
which its related events are located, with connections to every
dimension.
Using this map, the student can grasp a wider and deeper vision
than with the simple sequence of events, and understand the causes and
effects of this particular historical event, for Europe and for the
whole world.
Every concept that requires it, has been assigned with a
descriptive text for deeper insight; besides, some concepts have some
meaningful text and image documents associated
For clarity and mnemonics, concepts have been grouped in
categories, with a specific graphical aspect, and all relations have
been defined, to also improve semantic searching.
Naturally, this map may be modified and adapted by
instructors to fit curriculum.
This is an initial version and is
freely distributed to all Knowledge Master licensed users.
