Biodiversity Informatics Innovations using MindMaps

Hello Friends,

Its amazing to see the growing number of organisations working in biodiversity conservation.
Biodiversity stories can have a plethora of narratives from Scientific data-stories to Wildlife Documentaries.
 

The dynamic nature of the World Wide Web facilitates innovations to be released at a dizzying pace.

Web Data Visualisations as means of communication has been growing too - and the richness of tools inspires more creativity eg D3js.org 
Once such tool is the MindMap. MindMaps are a great diagrammatic method to visualise category and taxonomic data.
A central idea branching into diverse information categories is the essence of a MindMap.

In a Biodiversity Informatics context, Biological taxonomic terms from Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species can be clearly understood through  MindMaps.
Similarly Biodiversity Org Websites are based on an Information Architecture (IA). This too can be visualised in MindMaps to create a SiteMap. Integrating various Sitemaps on a single canvas is called a SuperSitemap
SuperSitemaps can be used to identify information association and gaps. MindMaps can answer critical questions no how to optimise the network.

Biodiversity Informatics just got richer and more creative - Enjoy!
