A list is a basic method of representing knowledge, consisting of a vertical column of ideas, concepts, or terms related to a core topic. Lists are particularly useful for quickly jotting down thoughts before a formal organizational structure is determined.

Knowledge Representation Methods

- "… allows students to display inferential connections between propositions and contentions, and to evaluate them in terms of validity of argument structure and the soundness of argument premises"
- relatively recent innovation (2000)
- analyzes inferential structure of arguments 
- key feature: "…inferences between whole propositions"
- "...interested in the inferential basis for a claim being defended and not the causal or other associative relationships between the main claim and other claims"

Argument Mapping

Mind map is a network of connected and related concepts. The connections in mind map is free-form and any idea could be connected to any other as long as there is certain association between ideas.

Mind Mapping

Hybrid maps is a left-to-right  non-linear hierarchical structure in which paragraphs are visually linked to each other.

Hybrid Mapping

"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."

Concept Maps

A directed acyclic graph, often abbreviated as DAG, is a graph that has no cycle. This means that all nodes eventually lead to designated endpoints. They show causal relationships between nodes, where one node is the cause and leads to another node(s), the effect(s). 


Directed Acyclic Graphs

Hypertext is a form of knowledge representation on computer devices where some elements from each page anchor to other pages.
