  • How to Create a Topic Map ? Essay

    ...Topic maps are a new ISO standard for describing knowledge structures and associating them with information resources. As such they constitute an enabling technology for knowledge management. Dubbed "the GPS of the information universe", topic maps are also destined to provide powerful new ways of navigating large and interconnected corpora. While it is possible to represent immensely complex structures using topic maps, the basic concepts of the model — Topics, Associations, and Occurrences (TAO) — are easily grasped. This paper provides a non-technical introduction to these and other concepts (the IFS and BUTS of topic maps), relating them to things that are familiar to all of us from the realms of publishing and information management, and attempting to convey some idea of the uses to which topic maps will be put in the future.[1] Note The original version of this paper was published in June 2000 and thus predates the development of XTM (XML Topic Maps). The purpose of XTM was to adapt the topic map standard (ISO 13250) for use with XML and the Web. XTM provides an alternative, XML-based syntax for expressing topic maps and also clarifies certain concepts, especially those relating to subject identity. Since this paper deliberately avoids syntactical issues, the fact that there are now two standard...

  • Summative Concept Map Essay

    ...Summative Concept Map Gary Vause, II PhD in Applied Management and Decision Science Specialization:  Information System Management Table of conents Abstract 3 Major Ideas 4 Concept 4 Conclusion 4 Figures Figure 1: Key metaphors of the Organization 5 Summative Concept Map Abstract In this Summative Concept Map, Gareth Morgan makes a major contribution to the understanding of organizations by suggesting that it is vital to view organization through multiple metaphors and images. There are 3 chapters in which this summation highlights major ideas, concepts and conclusions which are most meaningful and reflected in the referenced concept map. Major Ideas The evolution of this concept map is based on Gareth Morgan’s idea which develops view of the art of reading and understanding organizational life. This is based on a very simple premise: that all theories of organization and management are based on implicit images or metaphors that lead us to see understand, and manage. The use of metaphor implies a way of thinking and a way of seeing that pervade how we understand our world generally. Concept According to Morgan, (2006) when we approach metaphors, we see that our simple premise - that all theory is metaphor which has far-reaching consequences. We...

  • Design concept Research Paper

    ...Design concepts in architecture: the porosity paradigm Sotirios D. Kotsopoulos 129 Franklin Street, # 203, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, USA; e-mail: skots@alum.mit.edu Abstract: Presented is a paradigm of how a design concept can be converted into a system of production rules to generate designs. The rules are expressed by the means of shape grammar formalism. The paradigm demonstrates how porosity a concept transferred from biology, medicine and organic chemistry was implemented by architect Steven Holl and his team in designing the 350-unit student residence Simmons Hall at MIT. In the presentation, spatial algebras, rule schemata and shape rules are used to capture Holl’s version of porosity. 1 Introduction “I depend entirely on concept diagrams, I consider them my secret weapon. They allow me to move afresh from one project to the next, from one site to the next.” (Holl, 2002, page 73). Steven Holl one of the most influential contemporary American architects, acknowledges his dependence on open-ended conceptual frames rather than on the existing building morphologies or typologies. The notion of a “concept” suggested by Holl coincides with the notion of “design concept” that is used in this paper. Presented is a paradigm of how a design concept set forth at the early stage of the design process can take generative expression: it can be converted...

  • Cognitive Maps Essay

    ...“Cognitive Maps” Course: Knowledge Engineering Author: Marina Borovkova Group: FM.1 Saint-Petersburg 2011 Table of contents Introduction 3 Definition of Cognitive Mapping 4 History and Use of the Term 4 The Process of Cognitive Mapping 6 Different Types of Cognitive Map and Mapping Techniques 7 Cognitive mapping techniques 8 Causal mapping. 8 Semantic mapping 9 Concept mapping 10 Application of cognitive techniques and maps 11 Conclusion 13 Introduction All of us face misunderstandings and perception discrepancies, but what is the reason? The visual environment, natural objects and human actions are interpreted differently by different people. Information in our brain about thing, events and notions is organized in some structural schemes called “cognitive maps”. They help us to systemize knowledge and easily extract it in the process of analyzing and interpretation of new, unknown events or things. It is meaningful to study how to understand, visualize and organize our cognitive maps. So the theme of cognitive mapping deserves attention and thoroughly research. Definition of Cognitive Mapping For understanding of the term “cognitive map” we should firstly define the meaning of “cognition”. From psychological point of view “cognition” refers to the mental models (belief systems), that people use to interpret, frame, simplify, and make...

  • Essay about Business Concept Innovation for Apple

    ...Business Concept Innovation In Apple business concept innovation in Apple The business concept innovation of apple will be analyzed by several business models. One of them is the concept of Gary Hamel . He defines the business concept innovation as following:  "Business Concept Innovation is the capacity to imagine dramatically different business concepts or dramatically new ways of differentiating exiting business concepts"  Business conept innovation changes the basis of competition in an industry  A Business Model is simply a Business Concept that has been put into practice Moreover Hamel distinguishes 2 kinds of innovation:  The first is innovation regarding the firm's historic strategy (change own strategy)  The second is innovation with respect to the firm's industry and competitors (proactively reinvent the industry) Succeeding at both kind of innovation is not easy. Few companies, herein Apple, are skilful enough to do both. Hamel states that a business concept comprises four major components: customer interface, core strategy, strategic resources, , and value network. Between the components are other three elements that link and relate them: configuration of competencies, customer benefits, and company boundaries. Unpacking the Hamel's Business Model 1) CUSTOMER INTERFACE ...

  • The Influences of Concept Mapping Strategy Essay

    ...0974-8741 The Influences of Concept Mapping Strategy on Reading Comprehension of those Students Challenging in Studying Invalid Books at some High Schools The aim of this study is to investigate the applicability of drawing concept maps on reinforcing reading comprehension of students at some high schools. Teachers encourage students to draw formatted forms of main and sub main concept maps for each reading passage. Students are encouraged to connect these maps to each other by some lines. By administrating standard reading proficiency tests to 70 male and 90 female students at two high schools, 100 students in both genders were selected separately and divided to four groups with equal students. Experimental groups were taught how to draw concept maps by showing them some reading passages prepared in concept mapped forms. These students were motivated to draw concept maps of three reading passages after teaching them new words. The latter one was their treatment. New words and passages of mentioned lessons were translated into students` native language for control groups traditionally. Because some students were absent during this study, the score of 15 students were analyzed finally. The results revealed that treatment had positive effects on reading comprehension of the students. It is recommended to...
