SOCKit, the SOCME Online Construction Kit, is an interactive, dynamic, web-based tool for creating and exploring SOCMEs (System-Oriented Concept Map Extension), created by the King’s Centre for Visualization in Science. Concepts can be connected by labeled, directional links. Related concepts can be grouped into subsystems, which helps users divide complex systems into more manageable chunks; subsystems also express the limits of the “system” being explored. Everything is arranged by a force-directed graph (charges and springs), which makes it easy to add, remove, and rearrange concepts and entire subsystems.
Diagrams can be downloaded as “.socme” files, and later reloaded into the SOCKit web page. Diagrams can also be exported as graphics, in SVG and PNG formats. SOCKit is designed to work well on mobile devices.
