Hi Pranav,
Yes, there's a few methods of describing these sort of relationships, with
topic maps and mind maps being two. I'm afraid I don't know of any tools
off hand for creating this sort of information. My use of topic maps has
been limited to using them to express relationships between conceptual
knowledge in AI based research projects. As I've been working with a small
data set, I've fortunately been able to create the XML based topic maps by
hand.
I'll ask some people I know who research in the field if they know of any
tools for creating topic maps, or other forms of conceptual knowledge
representation.
Will
