Wandora

Being built based on the Java programming language, Wandora is a piece of software that tries to cover your needs as far as information management is concerned, with a focus on www resources and associative data.

Being a reinterpretation of Topic Maps, which, in turn, proposes neat means of storing knowledge, Wandora is a desktop application focused on ease of navigability, and implicitly, on offering a way to effortlessly find the information you are looking for.

Wandora’s approach to organizing data is to offer a multitude of tools you could turn to in order to handle topics, occurrences, and associations, with dedicated editors being included just for that.

Creating a new topic should raise no difficulty whatsoever, but for that, you need to come up with an initial base name and subject identifier. What’s more, you have the possibility of creating subclass topics, not to mention that many other editing opportunities are provided as well.

Aside from that, an association editor is included in Wandora, and it should come in handy especially if you know a couple of things about topic maps and coming up with a schema for associations does not seem difficult to you. Nevertheless, if association data can be extracted from third-party apps, you can paste it to Wandora. Moreover, making associations between Sketch grid cells is an option, as is the case of drawing them between graph nodes.

In case you are wondering what your options are in terms of saving your projects, you should know that the output can be either a WPR file or a directory. What’s more, exporting topic maps to JTM, XTM, or LTM format is possible.

Turning to extractors in order to get your hands on topics and associations, regardless of their sources and formats, is possible, as is also the case of analyzing and querying topic maps. It should also be pointed out that an HTTP server is integrated into Wandora, and it hosts service modules.

On an ending note, Wandora is a feature-packed piece of software based on Topic Maps and that proposes a seamless managing, extracting, and publishing environment. Boasting a thoroughly documented user manual, Wandora should help you figure out how to make the most of it.
