DeepaMehta

[Craunch]

DeepaMehta is software for knowledge management. It is essentially a mind map program with data management facilities.

To quote their website:

DeepaMehta is a software platform for knowledge workers. The special feature of DeepaMehta is the situation-centered user interface: information belonging to one working context is -- together with its meaningful relationships -- displayed and edited in a single window. Whether it is text, images, documents, emails, web pages, events or for example contacts.

DeepaMehta represents information contexts as a network of relationships. This graphical representation exploits the cognitive benefits of mind maps and concept maps. Visual maps -- in DeepaMehta called Topic Maps -- support the user's process of thinking, learning, remembering and generating ideas. We think that working with DeepaMehta stimulates creativity and increases productivity.

DeepaMehta can be used as a single user application or collaboratively with others. Topic Maps can be made accessible to the public.

DeepaMehta is a thought tool.

DeepaMehta is a post-desktop-metaphor user interface for large displays.

DeepaMehta is an open source project. The software is licensed under GNU General Public License, version 3.

The name DeepaMehta is inspired by the Indian movie director Deepa Mehta.

I am listing in this forum because I doubt that it is portable, but I am not in a position to investigate at the moment. I hope that someone might find this of interest.

Interesting.

DeepaMehta is a browser based client-server program -- the server side is Java dependent (v1.6+, check https://github.com/jri/deepamehta); it might be possible to make it portable with the help of Jportable(?); once correctly setup up, the interface is accessible at http://localhost:8080/de.deepamehta.webclient/.

DeepaMehta has a live demo at http://demo.deepamehta.de/.
