A perceived regularity or pattern in events or objects, or records of events or objects, designated by a label. J. Novak
For example:
A (hierarchical) network comprised of concept-terms (nodes) and directed lines linking pairs of nodes; the linking lines are labeled with explanations of the relationship between node pairs.
A specified sphere of activity or knowledge. For example:
The predicate "is composed of" is used to describe whole-part relationships. For example:
The Concept to which a statement or proposition is directed. For example, given the statement "Square is a Polygon", "Polygon" is the Object.
A predicate is the verb that links concepts to form a proposition. Predicates must contain one or more words composed entirely of lowercase letters. For example:
Propositions are formed by linking two concepts with a predicate. These become the fundamental units of meaning stored in the concept map.
The Concept about which a statement or proposition is made. For example, given the statement "Square is a Polygon", "Square" is the Subject.
Capstone provides special features if you use certain "well known" predicates. All of these well known predicates are documented separately.
