Abstract

A method for conceptual maps construction is presented and applied to Business domains. A conceptual map is a graph, where nodes stand for domain specific concepts and edges connect associated concepts. The conceptual map reveals and visualises logical associations between concepts, which exist in the collection of texts, used to construct the conceptual map. Preliminary work on conceptual map analysis is suggested.
