You learn about the structure from the additional data items you enter. The main disadvantage of such an approach, when compared to traditional database applications, are poor query possibilities, but I use it that way anyway - contacts, recipes, medical records, etc. Keeping a small database of something with structure that is either very dynamic or not known in advance.I move parts of some essays to others when it seems appropriate. I don't have one map for one essay, I have one map for all essays. Essay writing and brainstorming, using colors to show which essays are open, completed, not yet started, etc, using the size of nodes to indicate the size of essays.Such a collection of notes is sometimes called a knowledge base.

All this data is represented to the user as a Mind map.

In the future, even network-structures will be supported such as Topic Maps (ISO).

FreeMind is intended for editing Mind maps, XML/HTML documents, and directory trees.
