"Concept maps are graphical tools for organizing and representing knowledge." "We could think of a concept map as a set of categories, and that the relationship between these categories is expressed through connections with linking phrases."

Similar in structure to causal diagrams (i.e. nodes with connections), except the connections are not causal. Nodes contain concepts are organized
in a hierarchy (such as in 1Cademy's knowledge graph).
