Software for group construction?

July 1, 2005 9:45 AM

Is there a piece of software I can use to allow public users to add "connections" between multiple objects/words? I'm thinking of a project that would probably end up looking like the ThinkMap Visual Thesaurus (http://www.visualthesaurus.com/). Any thoughts?

In more detail: I want to give public access to a list of words (ideas, really), allow people to group the ideas as they see fit, and summarize their opinions about the strength of the connection between the ideas. This is pretty much what you'd have to do to create a thesaurus, but with a smaller group (~2000) of elements.

I doubt web software exists for this. It's fairly specific. However, you shouldn't have any problem finding a developer who could do that. You can e-mail me if you want to talk more about it.

Response by poster: Thanks! That's what I was afraid of. I'll keep looking for a workaround.

(I'd be willing to do this project, if you're still reading this thread)
