Inspired by the mindmap technique, WikiMindmap.org allows users to search Wikipedia in a faster way by generating a visual diagram for their search, which sets in the center the search term, and derives from it other topics addressed in the wiki article, which in turn can be set as the axis of the search.
When looking for a specific topic, try using the searchbox on top of the app to have a specific search term highlighted, and when moving your mouse over the search results you get to read the first couple of lines of the article, to quickly check if it is what you were looking for. WikiMindmap.org works for the several Wikipedia western language versions: English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Indonesian as the only Asian one for the time being.
WikiMindmap.org In Their Own Words
“WikiMindMap is a tool to browse easily and efficiently in Wiki content, inspired by the mindmap technique. Wiki pages in large public wiki’s, such as wikipedia, have become rich and complex documents. Thus, it is not always straight forward to find the information you are really looking for. This tool aims to support users to get a good structured and easy understandable overview of the topic you are looking for”.
Why WikiMindmap.org It Might Be A Killer
As Wikipedia catches on and becomes more and more massive, it is increasingly hard to quickly find what one is looking for, as the information gets more and more lengthy, and having a resource like this one is always good news, as one can get instant insight as to the main topics that an individual article deals with.
Some Questions About WikiMindmap.org
The slight problem I found about this site is that most people scan through texts in order to check out if it is what they are looking for, since the titles for each individual section are usually generic and thus not very informative (introduction, history, development, variations, and the like). It’s these very same section titles this site uses to generate the mindmaps, so unless they can figure out a way to generate a mindmap through keywords, it’s probably unlikely that users favoring the scroll approach will switch to WikiMindmap.org.
