Abstract
A mind mapping system uploads mind map data to an external system and tracks changes to such data in the external system through the mind map. The invention enables a user to create data objects in an external system through the mind map by classifying topics in a mind map, where the mind map is generated through a mind mapping system. The mind mapping system presents the user with classification categories that correspond to data types in the external system. By classifying a topic in accordance with such classification categories, a user is essentially mapping the topic to a data type in the external system. The mind mapping system interfaces with the external system to upload data in classified topics to the external system. At a later point, the user can then track any changes made to the data in the external system through the mind map.
