How to generate a MindManager map with WikiSummarizer

Wikipedia Knowledge Base is a powerful component of WikiSummarizer. It contains the summaries of English Wikipedia and with 5 million keywords it provides rapid access to  almost 30 million summaries. This offers a tremendous resource instantly available for research and learning .

This example shows how easy it is to extract relevant summaries from the Wikipedia Knowledge Base to create a Visual Summary and then export it to MindManager to create a mind map.

The entire process of generating a Visual Summary using the Wikipedia Knowledge Base is simple and fast.

1. Select in WikiSummarizer  the Wikipedia Knowledge Base tab and search for keyword "Wine". To explore the rich context of the topic you can select for example the 50 top ranked results:
