The struggle for all of us in the business of sense-making is to find good tools for conceptualization and analysis. Phil Barker points us to VUE 2, a new edition of the Visual Understanding Environment from Tufts University. I use concept mapping (or "mind mapping") in my work a lot, especially in trying to lay out the landscape of an emerging field or innovation. While I haven't used VUE, the fact that it has interfaces with fedora, Flickr, JSTOR and Wikipedia caught my eye. The new version supports predefined ontologies, and "has tools to apply semantic meaning to the maps" that are constructed. Phil also points to a new JISC study on the "potential of semantic technologies for learning and teaching". -GW
