Hi Tom, I'm an Information Designer and I use Cmap Tools for sitemapping and all my other ontology/taxonomy tasks.
Plus: - It's very easy to use - Ontology version boasts OWL/XML export - Cross-platform, 17 languages - Free for commercial and non-commercial use - Great documentation Minus: - Fairly low-tech output - Hefty Java back-end (included, just a bit big!) I've used Cmap Tools extensively in the last 18 months for sitemapping, content migration and even card sorting exercises (albeit with pretty tech-aware users). And it's free for personal use! My overview: http://www.mikepadgett.com/technology/technical/cmaptools-for-concept-mapping-and-owl-authoring/ All the links are in there. If you're interested in zooming over there right away: http://cmap.ihmc.us/conceptmap.html Don't be put off by the evil homepage, these are not UX people! The homepage was actually made with the software, though, just out of interest. Good luck!
