An experiment to connect people and initiatives, to coordinate efforts in the collective task of finding alternatives to our current relationship with digital information.
Contextualise is a simple and flexible tool particularly suited for organising information-heavy projects and activities consisting of unstructured and widely diverse data and information resources.
Contextualise's main dependency is TopicDB, an open source topic maps-based graph library. Topic maps provide a way to describe complex relationships between abstract concepts and real-world (information) resources.
To really be able to make the most of Contextualise it is important to understand the topic maps paradigm: topics, occurrences and associations (and to a lesser degree, scopes). In that respect, the next step in your Contextualise journey :) would be to read a quick introduction to topic maps.
