Concept mappings have several central starting points that are related to each other. From these starting points, details and ideas are noted as branches, from which further branches and sub-branches depart. Between the branched terms, cross-connections that are not hierarchical can exist. The structure results from the semantics of their concepts. The display elements are terms, arrows and arrow labels. These elements are brought in a relation to each other by their spatial arrangement. The terms form the basic elements of a concept, e.g.its properties or inventory. The arrows between the terms symbolize the relationships, that means there is a relationship or no relationship. The arrow labels specify these relationships. The labels and thus the relationship can be static or dynamic.
