Abstract

Links are graphical expressions of relations between things. OPM links connect processes with objects or their states, providing meaning to relationships among them. This chapter expands the use of links in our model and explains the semantics of various kinds of links.

… The linking words or linking phrases are the set of words used to join concepts to express the relationships between the two concepts. … Picking the appropriate linking words to clearly express the relationship between two concepts is possibly the most difficult task during the construction of concept maps.
