Views and Synthesis of Cognitive Maps
Résumé
A cognitive map represent concepts linked by influences.
This paper introduces a taxonomic cognitive map model that allows to define a cognitive map on a taxonomy. This taxonomy is used to provide simplified views of a map to help a user to understand it. The model we present also provides a mechanism to help a group of people to build a map.
Our proposal consists of a method for building a synthesized map from individual cognitive maps provided by each participant, called designer, by exploiting the taxonomy and preferences over these designers.
