	[http://www.thebrain.com The Brain] by '''~~[../../../../directory/natrificial.htm~~ Natrificial Software Technologies]''' is a system for creating and visualizing relations between items, called thoughts. Thoughts can be linked to files, web pages, and notes. A user of The Brain connects one thought to another in one of three ways: as a parent, child, or jump. Parent-child relationships can be used to create a hierarchy or grouping of ideas, while <br />jump relationships represent exclusive relationships between items. When one selects a thought, it moves to the center of the screen, with its parent thoughts shown above, its child thoughts below, and its jump thoughts to the left. Siblings (thoughts that share a parent) are shown to the right. The visual effect of selecting items is like wandering through ideas. Natrificial Software Technologies has implemented many progressive ideas, such as enabling The Brain to organize files, allowing the import of file systems from Windows, and encouraging users to publish their Brains on the Web. A [http://www.thebrain.com/solutions/sdk/ software development kit] is available, as well as a [http://www.thebrain.com/solutions/ solution center]. Upcoming developments include a collaborative Brain, and a version for Java environments.

	[http://www.multicentric.com Mutlicentrix] by '''~~[../../../../directory/kkaw.html~~ Aw Kong Koy]''' is a multicentric information mapping system, previously known as InfoMap. Multicentrix allows objects to be related in both hierarchies and networks. Also, each link in the network can itself be an object. Multicentrix has tools for editing the objects, hierarchies, networks, interfaces, links. It allows for the import of hierarchies and associations. It also includes a built-in HTML Editor and web farming capabilities.

A new tool is CMC for Accelerating Learning. It integrates Superlearning, MindMaps (Tony Buzan) and many, many software programs to study the brain and neurons, as well as the incredible software MindManager 3.5.5, including SuperMemo, Inspiration, AXON and other tools. All of these are integrated into a single body consisting of neurons and gliales.

	<u>Hypercard</u> designed by Bill Atkinson provides many of hypermedia's functionalities. Hypercard in 1989, Toolbook in 1994, Authorware in 1991, and HM-Card (Mauner et al., 1995) made it easy to create links, buttons and hot spots. Hypercard was designed as an authoring tool. It has a simple graphical user interface that the computer user could identify with to handle graphics, video, sound and interactive links to other cards. It has a scripting language for more advanced users, OpenScript for incorporating buttons, sounds, etc..

	<u>Guide</u> is a hypertext system that was developed by Peter Brown at the University of Kent in 1986. It was commercially distributed as the first hypertext system. Files could be interchanged between Macintosh and IBM PC. An interesting feature are the text areas that consist of different cursor shapes. They indicate different classes of links. They can be created without scripting. Guide is an authoring and browsing tool.

	<u>Hypertext Editing System (HES)</u> was built at Brown University by the team of Gross, T., Nelson, T., Rice, D., van Dam, A., and Carmody, S. in 1969. The team developed an alphanumeric keyboard and light pen for data entry. Simply called HES, it supports two types of links as well as annotations (tags). The HES screen consists of a scrollable text area followed by a tag and prompt area. HES does not impose hierarchies, the data segments are freely connected in text links and branchways. Users may jump within the segment or to another segment. Branches from a segment may be selected from a menu at the end of the segment. HES was sold to NASA to produce documentation for the Apollo program. Later it was distributed commercially as a file retrieval and editing system FRESS. It included color raster graphics and navigational aids.
