Download Compendium
,
Compendium is the powerful, open source (free!) software that CogNexus recommends for Issue and Dialogue Mapping™. Learning Compendium is a bit of an investment, but we believe it is the best software out there to do this kind of mapping. It allows maps to be scalable, changeable and easier to read than a hand-written map.
The major additions in this version are an advanced tagging interface, plus numerous other enhancements to improve how you manage, visualize and share your information spaces.If you need to do Outline exports, use the 2.0 Beta 1 version (below).
This version does a better job of exporting Outlines and has many new exciting features: Mapping over movies; curved links and link formatting; Linked Files manager; Group working improvements for working over the net, to name just a few.
