Allow map nodes to define default nodes and links

3

Currently Map nodes are closely linked to an IBIS ontology (which is great and what I use it for — Dialogue Mapping), but sometimes a map node within a map would be more useful if it used a different ontology (DM has a strict Question->Idea->Pro->Con flow, which is used in part in the auto-layout); for example: freeform mind mapping, argument map, etc.

More strict rules could also be used in such circumstances and different icons / colour schemes.

This would require moving various options / settings to the Map Node, which would enable various types to be included in the same map / subMap.

[I add the following as this is a similar suggestion:]

Provide different sets of nodes and link templates for different use scenarios.

Currently Compendium does by default use an IBIS adjusted set of nodes and links. However, several users reported that they are using Compendium for other purposes than the IBIS methodology.

Also, it is possible to create own node types and to adjust link types.

There should be an evaluation of different (major) use scenarios. Based on these Compendium can offer different ‘types’ of maps when starting a new project. That maps are based on different default nodes and link sets.
