[Mak-developer] Call for Requests- Knowledge Association Layers

[<wil...@gm...>]

Motivation:

As we all know, there are often different views on knowledge. This is a
feature where the mightiest tools for displaying knowledge in a tree format
fail (Even the NT Explorer, that outperformes yet any mindmap implementation
on the market, that has just tree support).
e.g.:
You have 20 books you want to make a mindmap with containing the titles and
a short information when you read it, how you rated it, who is the author,
when it is written.
The Problem is for now:
How do you categorize them:
by author, this would give a very flat mindmap
by epoche, by rating, by category (science fiction, documentation,
technical).
by editor and then by author ?

These is the problem where Knowledge Association Layers should deal with.
You have a bunge of nodes, which you want to connect.
You can connect them. In the first Layer by author in the second layer by
epoche.
So if you choose one of the different layers, you can see the nodes, with
only the connections between them you inserted in this layer.

We could even go further and overlay layers:
That means, bottom layer is by author, then by category, and after that by
epoche.
