3. Information Maps
• A generic term for ways of visually
representing relationships between
information, ideas, and concepts.
• The representation maps (information maps)
are sometimes called knowledge maps or
graphic organizers.
4.
Some types of information maps maybe
classified into:
Diagrams
Charts
Concept Maps
5. Advantages of Using
Information Maps
• Easier and quicker writing.
• Easier initial specification of subject
matter and job/task analysis.
• Easier management and analysis of
writing tasks in large projects.
• Better learning materials and better
reference.

7. Diagrams
• Diagrams are any line drawing that
shows arrangement and relations as
of parts to the whole, relative
values, origins and development,
chronological fluctuations,
distribution, etc..
8. Types of Diagrams
• Affinity diagram- used to cluster complex apparently
unrelated data into natural and meaningful groups.
- It is a business tool used to organize ideas and data.
• Tree diagram- used to chart out, in increasing detail
the various tasks that must be accomplished to
complete a project or achieve a specific objective.
-A way of representing the hierarchical nature of a
structure in a graphical form. It looks somewhat like a
tree.
9. • Fishbone diagram- also called “cause-and-
effect diagram”. It is structured form of
brainstorming that graphically shows the
relationships of possible causes and sub
causes directly related to an identified effect/
problem. Most commonly used to analyze
work-related problems.
10. • Venn Diagram- graphical illustration of the
relationships between and among sets of
data, groups of objects that share something
in common.
• Venn Diagrams are made up of two or more
overlapping circles that show similarities and
differences among concepts.
• Venn diagrams are also called as “Set
Diagram” and “Venn Chart” and are used to
illustrate areas of overlap between elements.
11. Charts
• Charts are diagrammatic
representation of
relationships among
individuals within an
organization.
12. Types of Charts
• Flow chart- visual way of charting or
showing a process or procedure from
beginning to end. It is a means of
analyzing a process.
• Organizational chart- shows how one
part of the organization relates to the
other parts of the organization.
13. Concept Maps
• Concept maps are useful for
visualizing ideas among different
concepts.
• Here, concepts are connected with
labeled arrows in a downward
branching hierarchical structure.
