Does software exist that can scrape text and generate an interactive mind-map?

Does software exist that can scrape text and generate an interactive mind-map?

This is an interesting question. The process for accomplishing this is related to a number of questions I’ve answered on Quora, both recently and not so recently, such as:

What is the difference between HTML sitemaps and XML sitemaps?

I did some work trying to bridge sitemaps with mindmaps, only to discover that they are not really compatible. Websites contain recursive linkages; whereas, mindmaps are strictly hierarchical.

What are some really interesting web crawling projects?

I’ve got an ongoing partially unresolved inquiry into converting sitemaps into mindmaps, which in ideal conditions would involve crawling a website, parsing the directory structure into a nested outline, and then inserting the crawled webpage titles into the outline. A cloud based (web) API would be the ideal form for this.

How would you use a MindMapping tool like xmind/Mindjet Mindmanager to look at your data?

I am interested in visual sitemaps, basically mindmaps of websites; however, mindmaps are apparently not capable of representing the recursive links. Therefore, the alternative would be to parse website directory trees into mindmaps; but, since standard XML sitemaps do not include webpage titles, this would then require the website to be crawled in order to retrieve all of the page titles for insertion into the visual sitemap or mindmap. Further, MindManager (MM) format includes nested ZIP files, which make conversions that much more onerous.
