The purpose of this paper is to compare two types of graphical models that are widely being used nowadays. The models are called conceptual graph and concept map. Although the names of these models are similar, however, the characteristics of each model are different. A number of 18 papers are compared and important elements for these models are discussed in these papers. This paper is divided ...

This paper explores the possibility of organizing map design around conceptual spatial representations (CSRs). CSR refers to a mental representation that is instantiated in interaction with a spatial environment, a spatial representational medium, and/or while solving spatial problems. For this approach we coin the term cognitive conceptual. We detail the basic assumptions in a contrastive mann...

OBJECTIVE To retrieve the origin of the term neuropsychomotor developmental delay" (NPMD), its conceptual evolution over time, and to build a conceptual map based on literature review. DATA SOURCE A literature search was performed in the SciELO Brazil, Web of Science, Science Direct, OneFile (GALE), Pubmed (Medline), Whiley Online, and Springer databases, from January of 1940 to January of 20...

We reviewed literature to understand when a spatial map for time is available in the brain. We carefully defined the concepts of metrical map of time and of conceptual representation of time as the mental time line (MTL) in order to formulate our position. It is that both metrical map and conceptual representation of time are spatial in nature. The former should be innate, related to motor/impl...

Causal map integration is helpful to broaden group member’s eyesight and sheds insight on the detection of overall group’s cognition tendencies. However the existing causal map integration approaches are either based on human intervention mechanism that is criticized with researcher bias, or based on syntactic mechanism that lacks of semantic. In order to improve the current causal map integrat...

This paper introduces the notion of map-based wiki, a wiki that allows users to interact with each other and with information through a digital map. The map, either geographic or conceptual, becomes a medium for creating knowledge through digital annotations. Annotations may be multimodal. Audio or icon notes set the mood for perceiving map space, while text or graphic notes create information ...
