SchemataX

Intention

These pages aim to provide and distribute schemata, diagrams, and schematizations I have created in the context of scientific and/or personal projects and which I want to make available to the scientific community and to the general public. Overall, they help to deal with the respective topics and are intended to accompany different readings in order to maintain an overview of central concepts and elements of the texts.

Work in Progress

All files available here represent a constantly expanded and corrected work in progress and are therefore not to be considered complete or finalized. In part, these overviews (very similar to the Zettelkasten) represent concrete, illustrative external working and thinking tools.

License

Unless otherwise specified, all documents are published according to the Open Acess idea under the CC-BY-4.0 license. You are therefore free to download, copy, print, distribute and create your own documents based on the documents on this site (also for commercial use), as long as the source of the content and the author of the documents are correctly named.

Editing

In addition to the PDF files the ODF files (OpenDocument Format → LibreOffice) from which the PDF versions have been created are available. In case you want to take these documents as a basis for further/own works you can simply edit these ODF files. Please note the license under which these documents are published.

Corrections/Improvements

If you find errors in these documents oder have suggestions for improvement I would be very grateful if you could send them to kontakt@schematax.org. Thank you!

Schematization Principles

The conception and design of the schematics/documents is based on the following basic schematization principles:

  • abstraction of non-relevant aspects
  • graphical encoding of relationships, properties, etc.
  • Unambiguity and categorial differentiation
  • two-dimensional representation of multi-dimensional relationships

Document version and date of update

Every document contains the date of the last update and corresponding document version1 (e.g. 1.4.3):

  • The first number of the document version indicates the main version:
    • The 0 in version 0.x.x indicates a document in development.
    • 1.x.x (or another number > 1) indicates a finalized but perhaps constantly improved document.
  • A change of the middle number (e.g. from 3 to 4 in 1.4.3) indicates a significant update regarding the content or significat development of the document inside a main version (e.g. additions without significat changes in the conception of the document).
  • A change of the last number (e.g. from 2 to 3 in 1.4.3) merely indicates an insignificant change (e.g. correction of typos).
