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.

Best

Michael

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.. Currently, most public interaction is on G+ here:

Best,

Ben

Dear all,

does anyone - especially from the education-communities  (some
commoning-list members are acknowledged)- knows this, is in touch, knows
about the prospects/ dynamics or has any concrete experience in using
meta-map tools for mapping?
http://metamaps.cc/

Please let me know.

Btw; I love their icons  @ Transformappers; this could be interesting
for us.
