'''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".
Line 13:
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.
Compendium source code was fully released under [[Lesser General Public License|LGPL licence]] on 13 January 2009.<ref>{{cite web |last=Buckingham Shum |first=Simon J |title=Compendium released open source |publisher=Compendium Institute |date=13 February 2009 |url=http://
== Applications ==
Line 22:
The software can be used by a group of people in a collaborative manner to convey ideas to each other using visual diagrams. A group [[Facilitation (business)|facilitation]] method called [[dialogue mapping]] is especially suited for use with Compendium.<ref>{{harvnb|Conklin|2006}}; {{harvnb|Zubizarreta|2006}}</ref>
Compendium templates for critical thinking can be used to create [[argument map]]s using the "argumentation schemes" developed by [[argumentation theory]] scholars [[Doug Walton]], Chris Reed, and Fabrizio Macagno.<ref>As described in {{harvnb|Walton|Reed|Macagno|2008}}; to download the templates, see: {{cite web |title=Argumentation schemes: compendium templates for critical thinking |website=compendium.open.ac.uk |url=http://compendium.open.ac.uk/openuniversity/compendium-arg-schemes.html |accessdate=2018-08-17}}</ref> Argumentation schemes are pre-defined patterns of reasoning for analysing and constructing arguments; each scheme is accompanied by a list of critical questions that can be used to evaluate whether a particular argument is good or [[fallacious]]. By using these argumentation schemes, users of Compendium can examine claims in more detail to uncover their implicit logical substructure and improve the rigor and depth of discussions.<ref>{{harvnb|Buckingham Shum|2007}}</ref>
== Features ==
Line 45:
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 ([[issue-based information system]]) 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/ |accessdate=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://
