With this the concept map in Figure 3 colour has been used for the first time to show
different concept paths. This concept maps also shows how two stage linking phrases can
be used. The first phrase on each arc can also act as a sub node/concept as shown in
Figure 4 below.
Colour can also be used to differentiate between different types of arcs/links. In addition
to colour symbols other than arrows can be attached to the end of arcs/links which will
again show a different type of link. Therefore with only 3 colours and 4 symbols 24
different links can be created; that is only if a connecting symbol can be placed at the
beginning or end of an arc. If 2 symbols are used then the number goes up to 48 different
links.
The next stage is to decide what each symbol should represent to suit engineering
applications.
Boolean Symbols
The next stage is to decide on what symbols are appropriate for engineering. A good
place to start is Boolean algebra and the symbols used there.
There are three main Boolean expressions are; AND, OR and NOT. The symbols used
in electronic logic and pure maths are:
LOGIC SYMBOLS
MATHS SYMBOLS
AND
OR
NOT
These symbols are not suitable for use on a concept map so instead this alternative set of
symbols can be used.
AND
OR
NOT
