A New Way to Research Flamenco Topics

Postby Bob » 27 Jan 2011, 11:12

Ingo Straub has created an interesting and useful way to quickly visualize and explore vast amounts of complexly interrelated Wikipedia information about any subject such as flamenco or any aspect of flamenco. He calls it Mind Map. You will see how it works faster than I can explain it if you simply give it a try. Do the following after you take the link at the bottom of this post:

1) Type "flamenco" in the "Search Knowledge Portal" query box in the upper right-hand corner of the page and press your "Enter" key.

2) Scroll down to read excerpts of information from the Wikipedia flamenco page and other Wikipedia pages that page links to. The "more..." links will take you to any of those pages, but don't take any of those links until you try steps 3 and 4 below.

3) Scroll back up to the Mind Map graphic and hover your mouse pointer over any information node, such as "soleá." A pop-up box will display an excerpt from that Wikipedia page.

4) Click "soleá" and it will be become the center topic of the Mind Map.
