History
Compendium is the result of fifteen years of development in collaborative modelling, however the theory behind the software hails from the seventies, when IBIS (Issue-Based Information System) was first conceptualized by Horst Rittel and Jeff Conklin. It is a fairly modern example of a personal knowledge base.
Many associations have thence contributed ideas to the development of Compendium. These institutions include Blue Oxen Associates, Center for Creative Leadership, Knowledge Media Institute - Open University, Verizon, CogNexus Institute, and Agent iSolutions.
