Abstract

Concept-Mapping was used to create models of the knowledge of expert weather forecasters. STORM-LK (System To Organize Representations in Meteorology-Local Knowledge) demonstrates the use of CMap diagrams to generate large-scale multi-media knowledge models. This merger of interactive graphical communication with knowledge management provides a counterpoint for discussion of logical and psychological issues in diagrammatic reasoning.
