I've not seen this app for a long while (price was prohibitive), but I had this kind of thing (Buzan's Mind Maps) in mind as a possible use case for the graph app I've been putting together (on & off). A MindManager-type app backed by RDF would be great - you could tie it to specific vocabularies or make it more freeform (using a property something like isRelatedTo or whatever). I do think there is a lot of low-hanging fruit around in terms of existing applications (traditional & server-side), which with minor augmentation would make nice & easy metadata makers (although that usually wouldn't be their primary purpose). Cheers, Danny.
