Quick take
A quick take on DebateGraph.

What is a DebateGraph map?

A network of spatially organized thinking visually represented.

Built by an individual or a community.

Can be public or private.

Can be Edit-By-Invitation-Only.

The Views seem important. What are they? 

Different ways of looking at the map. Page View can be useful for smartphones, for example, and Outline View is good for faster navigation and context on lap/desktops. The Explorer Views show the dynamic visual network on lap/desktops and tablets.

See the Views menu in the top navigation bar for access to all Views.

How much does it cost?

DebateGraph is free-to-use.

How does it work (basically)?

A map is a collection of elements linked together in a visible network. Each element is color-coded. As of this writing, there about 145 element types. Each element has its own page attached (located under the Details tab).

A page can have your own writing and embedded links, tweets, videos, pictures and other media. Each page can have comments and also attached citations. Like a wiki page it can be edited by any member of the map community, unless the original author has locked it. 

The link type is chosen from the DebateGraph set. As of this writing, there are about 35 link types.

Elements can also be cross-linked (pale yellow rectangles). This is important because it allows navigation through the space of the map without respect to the existing layout. It enables us to make connections laterally.

Maps can be linked together. Maps can be created by different communities at different times and be linked together at any level with one operation. They can be organized into clusters (same map community). Broader insights can emerge from linked maps as the jigsaw puzzle picture emerges as jigsaw pieces are linked together.
