Spicynodes & Dewey
“SpicyNodes goes several steps further (than the Dewey Decimal
System), sidestepping the inherent limitations of Dewey’s system.
Infinitely flexible, you can always go back and add new parent nodes,
expand the number of child nodes, and rearrange the hierarchy as
new information becomes available. Moreover, it’s a breeze to link one
node (or one nodemap) with another.”

What Is a Basic Spicynodes Diagram?
Mind map consists of central parent node and any number of branch nodes
Each branch can have branches of its own
Branch nodes can be linked to nodes in other branches

Additional Functionalities
Individual nodes can include embedded pictures or videos and link to outside sites
Labels can be added describing the relationship between nodes

Mind-Mapping & LIS
Could mind-maps be the organizational structure of the LIS future?
FRBR is a less linear way of looking at the relationships between items than the more linear MARC records
Bibframe builds off the FRBR model but aims to use URLs/URIs to define each node of relationship
