Contextualizing now integrated with Comapping
As I write this short article I am extremely excited with what I am looking at inside the Comapping application. The Contextual Organizer cloud app has recently been added to the interface. It’s merely a test at this time, and is in beta mode.
I am very happy to see a contextual analysis tool included with Comapping. This will be invaluable for cutting through document and web page overload.
The bottom line is, we have an excellent marriage of a very effective process approach to information management in the Comapping app, and we also have an ideal contextual analysis tool.
Context Organizer is a standalone cloud application service working at this time on the Amazon server (extremely fast), that can indeed be added to numerous other software apps. I would expect the likes of Google, Bing and Yahoo to be interested in this app for convergent use with their respective web search engines. The “Analyze” button will probably be a standard for web searches.
As much as we should be contextualizing every piece of information we create and share (Use the T.A.P process); the vast number of documents and web pages that have been created thus far, are probably full of filler words and text that are useless to getting to the point of communicating with clarity.
The question of IP security is handled with an arrangement to have an internal server install setup; corporate wide cloud configurations are available from Comapping too, thus enabling a more robust secure environment for IP. Of course, Comapping clearly indicates the security level of your information embedded into a Comap; whether it is documents, media formats or text of proprietary nature.
The Comap and analyze tool now give you the opportunity to see what these two combined tools can do for your information clarity. Time management and effective communications are two of many constraints we experience within our academic and business environments.
For the academic; the use of Comapping with Contextual Organizer will be invaluable, as the cloud gives you the ideal medium for creating, managing and sharing information and knowledge with your colleagues and students within a protected cloud space.
For The Business user Comapping can become a very convenient information carrier and knowledge mapping tool; becoming a standard process and system tool for creating all relevant information associated with your business management system. The addition of Contextual Organizer now gives you the ability to research Web Pages. With the insertion of a URL you’ll be offered an “Analyze” button and voila, the Contextual engine which uses the Amazon server extracts the contextual relevance for your research purposes. In a similar vein, attaching a document to your Comap, you’ll be offered the same “Analyze” button, simply click the button and your document shall be extracted with textual relevancy.
OK, so what use is this you may be asking? I too asked the same question some time ago when I was using the desktop edition of Context Organizer. The point of extracting context from Web Pages and documents is quite simple; we are overloaded with data, information and knowledge and we need to get to the point of the barrage of data that attacks us daily. Imagine a colleague sending you a PDF doc that is 500 pages long (Crazy eh?). Extracting context enables you to get to the root points of documents, while speed reading your way through the extracted relevancy associated with the docs.
The example Comap below shows you hyperlinks attached to the map branches that have been “analyzed”. The relevancy is extracted and numbered, and the relevant word is underlined red. The same can be accomplished with adding a document such as Word or PDF too.
I encourage you to download the latest edition of Comapping with Contextual Organizer beta included, and I’m confident you’ll get to the proverbial “AHA” moment pretty soon while using this very affordable and efficient information management tool.
