Compendium 1.5.2

Compendium is the semantic hypertext concept mapping tool at the heart of the Compendium methodology. It is the result of over 15 years' continual research, deployment and development of a tool to support the real time mapping of discussions in meetings, collaborative modelling, and the longer term management of this information as organizational memory. Compendium was initially developed in Verizon research labs as a next generation version of the QuestMap product (read more) which provided software support for the widely recognised IBIS methodology (Issue-Based Information System), as embodied in Dialog Mapping by CogNexus Institute. Compendium is arguably the most advanced IBIS mapping tool available, but goes much further with the addition of extensive support for web publishing, integration with other applications, support for multiple methods, and other advanced functionality. Verizon, CogNexus, and other Compendium practitioners are now collaborating with the Knowledge Media Institute at the Open University (UK) who are developing the software further and integrating it with other collaboration technologies (see their eScience CoAKTinG project). Compendium is a robust system, used for real work, but not acommercial product. Its first free public release, of v.1.2, occurredin January 2003, followed by many other releases. The source codebecame freely available in 2004. Queries about the software can be sent to info@compendiuminstitute.org.
