Concept Maps created by logged-in Users are automatically stored on data repositories under the Operator’s control.

The Application shall also display (suggest) to the user creating the Concept Map individual concepts from the Public Concept Maps that are semantically related to the newly created Concept Map. These hinted concepts can be added by the user to the newly created map, including any notes and other information attached to the concept and including relationships with other concepts that have already been added to the newly created map.
