Hi Ben, I have had a brief glimpse at metamaps. Looks excellent! For utilization as a taxonomy(+) editing and translation tool I was missing some features (that maybe are there anyway ;). I am in development of an own tool, MindForest, which is used now as a taxonomy editor and translation tool and is already used by the SiteCollector in development by me and a couple of others. Comparing those two I was missing a couple of features on metamaps (esp. NOT related to concept maps). On the other hand UI development is much further than what we have in MindForest (wich is at a much earlier state yet). The two projects share a very similar data model, values and our paths for future plans align very much. I’d be excited to get into a closer discussion of joining efforts on those projects. We can definitely share ideas, maybe even integrate or combine the projects.

Jänner 2015 19:43 An: maps@list.allmende.io; silke.helfrich@gmx.de Betreff: [maps] Metamaps Silke et al, I'm involved closely with Metamaps project, and am particularly interested in utilizing it as a taxonomy / ontology development and translation tool. I think it could be quite valuable to explore in the context of Transformap, as a way of surfacing key concepts and relations and defining metadata structures for mapping systems - also potentially down the road as an interface for editing and customizing these structures for various use cases within a larger info-cology. Metamaps project operates as an open source open value network, and we are interested in partnering / collaborating with peers, projects, and organizations that present mutual development opportunities. Would be glad to discuss in more detail..
