| Daftar/Tabel -- concept- and mind-mapping softwareConcept-mapping and mind-mapping software are used to create diagrams of relationships between concepts, ideas or other pieces of information. It has been suggested that the mind mapping technique can improve learning/study efficiency up to 15% over conventional note taking.[1] File formatUsing a standard file format allows interchange of files between various programs. Many of the programs listed below support the mm format used by FreeMind. The mm format is an XML text format consisting of tagged objects. An example is: <map version="0.9.0"><attribute_regi stry SHOW_ATTRIBUTES="hide"/><node TEXT="eBook Apps" ID="Freemind_Link_1" CREATED="1343227256389" MODIFIED="1343227256389" COLOR="#000000" BACKGROUND_COLOR="#b2b2fe" STYLE="bubble"><edge COLOR="#b2b2fe"/><hook NAME="MapStyle" zoom="0.97739804" max_node_width="600"/> <node TEXT="Main Data" POSITION="right" ID="Freemind_Link_12" CREATED="1343227256390" MODIFIED="1343227256390" COLOR="#000000" STYLE="fork"> <edge COLOR="#0088ce"/> <node TEXT="Item1" ID="Freemind_Link_23" CREATED="1343227256390" MODIFIED="1343227428428" COLOR="#000000" STYLE="fork"> <edge COLOR="#0088ce"/> </node> <node TEXT="Item2" ID="Freemind_Link_17" CREATED="1343227256391" MODIFIED="1343227428429" COLOR="#000000" STYLE="fork"> <edge COLOR="#0088ce"/> </node> </node></node></map> ;
