![]() ![]() (You can even browse and link to Flickr images on-the-fly from the program’s context menu). For example you can place a node or multiple nodes within other nodes, you can define associated, clickable URLs or files for nodes, and add local or online images. Node behavior: if you’ve tried other mind mapping tools you will appreciate the ability to place elements within elements.It enables your concept maps and your presentation itself to be a single, unified whole instead of being fragmented across different files and platforms. VUE makes it simple and easy to create a presentation out of your concept maps without having to jump to Powerpoint or another presentation software to do so. Admittedly, the conflation of concept mapping and presentation software seemed a bit strange to me at first, until I considered that the likely objective of creating and mapping out knowledge is to share it. VUE is also a full-fledged, Powerpoint-style presentation software. VUE is a very ambitious project whose simple in interface belies the power and potential that it has to offer. Imagine an environment where concepts and notes, images, as well as URLs, file objects and datasets of rows and columns can all be placed together on the same page and governed within a single structure and metadata (tags, relationships), and you will get an idea of what VUE is all about. VUE can also be used in conjunction with the Zotero Firefox extension to map out and visualize online documents and web clippings. It also functions as an innovative Powerpoint-style presentation tool, allowing users to define “presentation pathways” on top of the mind map structure, and to create presentation-style content that is associated with the mapped concepts. VUE is unique in that it offers a range of innovative functions such as tagging of nodes and of relationships, support for images, videos, and other objects within the mind map structure, and the ability to import and analyze datasets (from CSV files, XML files, and even RSS feeds) using semantic mapping. VUE (Visual Understanding Environment) is a free, open source mind mapping and data visualization software developed by the Academic Technology group at Tufts University in Boston.
