Greetings, Seeker of Knowledge-
I, too, want to know more about Information Mapping. So far I have
called the company (at 617/890-7003) and gotten from them
- a folder describing their products and services
- a copy of _Mapping Hypertext: Analysis, Linkage, and Display of
Knowledge for the Next Generation of On-Line Text and Graphics_ by
Robert E. Horn (ISBN 0-9625565-0-5), $39.95 + $3.00 S&H.
The book has a 50-page chapter entitled "Introduction to Information
Mapping's Method of Structured Writing," and the whole book is an
example of one result of applying the method.
I have just started to look through the book (you don't necessarily
_read_ a structured document), so I won't express any conclusions.
I will say that it seems like a good place to start investigating
the Information Mapping methodology, especially if you are interested
in online documents.
-Fred
