The branching metaphor is certainly well known, unfortunately it remains text based. I believe that the 3d space is even more universal, perhaps in the meantime a tree of icons would serve some purpose. A very real issue is that whilst words and shopping are easy to represent textually, most abstract concepts are not easy to represent graphically. parts of speech are a special case, but even say pop music, any graphical representation will tend to be connected to a marketed product. My concern would be that we make a start.... I have created a java based drive thru with web-links to numerous topical issues including: http://www.plumbdesign.com/projects/thinkmap.html unfortunately it is currently offline. jonathan chetwynd jc@signbrowser.org.uk IT teacher (learning difficulty) & accessibility consultant
