DebateGraph: Knowledge Collaboration, at the intersection of knowledge cartography and online collaboration.
DebateGraph
"DebateGraph is an award-winning web-platform for visualizing and sharing networks of thought – and opening reasoning and action to collaborative learning and iterative improvement." -- David Price, Thoughtgraph.
We can actually think of DebateGraph as a knowledge collaboration system, capable of everything from pure knowledge cartography to pure online collaboration.
Knowledge cartography: Presents complex issues and topics in clear, color-coded visualizations.
We live in a complicated, interconnected world.
DebateGraph allows you to present and curate all expressions of ideas surrounding a topic -- a PDF of a working paper, a video, a link to a website, a tweet, original text -- in a clear, color-coded multidimensional display.
A special case of Knowledge Cartography is News Cartography, the capturing of the unfolding of news stories.
Online collaboration: Facilitates conversation and collaboration.
DebateGraph can be used to facilitate collaboration and to organize and capture all perspectives as they come in and as they change. It allows us to manage change as decisions are made.
Private maps can be used for team discussions.
Thought processor
Note: Used specifically by one person DebateGraph can be used as a thought processor, a processor for thoughts in the same way word processors work with words.
