'''Compendium''' is a [[computer program]] and [[social science]] tool that facilitates the mapping and management of ideas and arguments. The software provides a visual environment that allows people to structure and record collaboration as they discuss and work through [[wicked problem]]s.
The software was released by the not-for-profit Compendium Institute. The current version operationalises the [[issue-based information system]] (IBIS), an argumentation mapping structure first developed by [[Horst Rittel]] in the 1970s. Compendium adds [[hypertext]] functionality and [[database]] [[interoperability]] to the issue-based notation derived from IBIS.
Line 51:
Compendium is the result of fifteen years of development in collaborative modeling, initiated in the mid-1990s by Al Selvin and Maarten Sierhuis at [[NYNEX]] Science & Technology; the theory behind the software hails from the 1970s, when IBIS was first conceptualised by Horst Rittel. Selvin and Sierhuis built on Jeff Conklin's earlier hypertext issue mapping software: gIBIS and QuestMap.<ref>{{cite web |title=Compendium project |publisher=Knowledge Media Institute, [[Open University]] |date=2009 |url=http://projects.kmi.open.ac.uk/compendium/ |access-date=11 January 2015}}</ref>
Many associations have thence contributed ideas to the development of Compendium. These institutions include Blue Oxen Associates, Center for Creative Leadership, [[Open University]]'s Knowledge Media Institute, [[Verizon]], CogNexus Institute, and Agent iSolutions.<ref>{{cite web |title=Participating institutions |publisher=Compendium Institute |date=2007 |url=http://compendium.open.ac.uk/institutions.htm |access-date=11 January 2015}}</ref> In 2012, the Compendium community established CompendiumNG to further advance and develop the software.<ref>{{cite web |title=CompendiumNG wiki |publisher=CompendiumNG |date=2017 |url=https://github.com/CompendiumNG/CompendiumNG/wiki |access-date=22 February 2017}}</ref>
