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.
