Compendium Publisher Description

Compendium is the semantic hypertext concept mapping tool at the heart of the Compendium methodology.
It is the result of over 15 years' continual research, deployment and development of a tool to support the real time mapping of discussions in meetings, collaborative modelling, and the longer term management of this information as organizational memory.

Compendium was initially developed in Verizon research
labs as a next generation version of the QuestMap product (read more)
which provided software support for the widely recognised IBIS methodology
(Issue-Based Information System), as embodied in Dialog Mapping by CogNexus Institute.

Compendium is arguably the most advanced IBIS mapping
tool available, but goes much further with the addition of extensive support
for web publishing, integration with other applications, support for multiple
methods, and other advanced functionality. Verizon, CogNexus, and other Compendium
practitioners are now collaborating with the Knowledge Media Institute at
the Open University (UK) who are developing the software further and integrating
it with other collaboration technologies (see their eScience CoAKTinG project).

Compendium is a robust system, used for real work, but not a
commercial product. Its first free public release, of v.1.2, occurred
in January 2003, followed by many other releases. The source code
became freely available in 2004.
Queries about the software can be sent to info@compendiuminstitute.org.
