Frequently Asked Questions

What is ThinkComposer?

ThinkComposer is an adaptable visual tool to express perspectives, problems, solutions and knowledge of a particular world, field or business.

Which relevant features does it have?

• Creation of Compositions (documents based on diagrams and detailed information),
  which can contain rich elements, called Ideas: Concepts (symbols) and Relationships (connectors between Ideas).
• Each Idea can have:
   - Composite content: A whole diagram can be contained in it, therefore making a multilevel document.
   - Multiple Details: Links, Attachments (text, images, files) and Tables (grids, custom-fields).
   - Markers, documentation and versioning.
• Also, they can include Complements: Stamps, regions (boundaries), notes, free text, callouts, legends and information cards.

What differentiates it from other Concept/Mind Mapping or Diagram based tools?

• The diagrams/maps are no limited to be only symbols and connectors with text and a few decorators. They are multilevel composable and with rich content.
• Relationships can have multiple origins and targets, and each connector can represent different varitations about what it represents.
• The nodes can express the semantics (meaningful, valuable, detailed and versioned content) about a business/field domain.
• Users can create and extend custom/specialized busines domains (set of Concepts and Relationships types, plus tables, markers, detailed information and constraints).
• Also, comprehensive reports can be generated with descriptive/semantic information about Compositions and their base Domain.
