Use Examples

Generally CompendiumNG is extremely flexible in terms of what you can do with it. Basically any content or problem that can be meaningfully described using graphs can be managed, modeled and updated using CompendiumNG. In this context a graph refers to a structure of items (nodes) that are related (links). Anything Compendium does relats to its ability of working with links and nodes in a hypertext like fashion. See the figure for a basic example of a graph in CompendiumNG.
