Mapping

Mapping is the process of locating elements. Mapping allows one to plan out how systems and functions will work, or how information correlates and how to further build upon current information. In terms of interactivity design there is: -	Data mapping o	To assist in showing how data is transmitted and how it integrates various tasks. -	Mind mapping o	Using key words for retention and quickly develop ideas. -	Process mapping o	An illustrative way to show the process of input, output and how they are linked together and by what tasks. -	Conceptual mapping o	Similar to a mind map, concept maps also use key words to develop ideas, but these key words are linked by other connecting words to create semantic units.
