Abstract
A Cognitive map is a graphical semantic model that represents influences between concepts. A cognitive map is easy to design and use, but the only query a user can make on it is to infer the propagated influence from a concept to another. This paper (This work is made in the context of “Analyse Cognitive de Savoirs”, a computer science project, granted by French region Pays de la Loire.) proposes CMQL, a general query language for cognitive maps. This language provides a way to query the different items of the model and not only the propagated influence. The language is declarative and is inspired of the domain relational calculus.

KIFANLO is a 2013–2017 project financed by the Fondation de France to help geographers analyse fishing strategies of fishermen in the French Atlantic coast. In this project, fishing strategies were modelled using cognitive maps.
