kdissert Description

Semantik (previously Kdissert) is a mindmapping-like tool to help students to produce complicated documents very quickly and efficiently : presentations, dissertations, thesis, reports. While targetted mostly at students, Kdissert can also help teachers, decision maker, engineers and businessmen. Semantik is also available exclusively for Linux and other free operating systems. Though this application shares some similarities with general-purpose mindmapping tools like FreeMind or Vym, the very first goal of Semantik is to create general-purpose documents through the use of mindmaps. Application behaviour: Ideas are first layed down on a canvas and then associated into a tree. The tree structure is made to help to see how the ideas interact, and then to develop them further (by adding ramifications). An idea is represented by a shape which contains several a summary (visible part), several text fields, and optional pictures or tables. The tree obtained, or mind-map, is then used to generate documents. The current generators are pdf documents (based on LaTeX: article, book), pdf presentations (based on LaTeX: Beamer, Prosper), text processing files (ODF such as OpenOffice.org Writer, Impress or KOffice), Plain Text and internet documents (html). Additional parameters are used to control the document generation through a stylesheet system. The resulting documents can be viewed almost interactively within Semantik or in external applications.
