There is a difference between concept mapping and mind mapping
http://dbweb.liv.ac.uk/ltsnpsc/AB/AB-html/node12.html although they have
been used 'interchangeably' as the note says. A term that I have heard is
Semantic mapping to add to the list.

Hi
I think I'll risk being sued - especially given that the use of the term
is likely to have a positive impact on Tony Buzan's income. However, I
don't plan to market any resources using the term.

Peter
