Distinction from flow charts

edit

Flow maps, as defined here, are obviously distinct from flowcharts as defined in that article. Flowcharts are a representation of an algorithm.

This obviously contrasts to what Phan has in mind when he said flow maps are "a mix of maps and flow charts, that show the movement of objects from one location to another, such as the number of people in a migration, the amount of goods being traded, or the number of packets in a network".

I'm not sure what to do about this. At the very least we should not link to our article on flowcharts from his quote. Perhaps we should also give a different initial definition in this article. Maybe we can still use his quote somewhere in the article but we'd have to make clear that he was using a different definition of flow chart.

In a related issue, I note this article says "Flow Maps are one of the ten diagrams defined in Thinking Maps." However, the Thinking Maps article indicates that by flow map they mean what we are talking about in the flowchart article!

Page overhaul

edit

I have heavily edited this page, adding a lot of content, figures, and citations. It was barely an outline previously. I reset the quality settings so the page can be re-reviewed. Bplewe (talk) 06:28, 14 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
