Mindmaps have been a popular means for intuitive and user-friendly conceptual modeling for several years. This paper proposes a mindmapping tool driven by semantic web ontologies that allows to assign meanings to the mindmap nodes and, even more importantly, guide the user through mindmap creation by proposing ontological concepts and roles relevant to each mindmap node. The tool is backed by OWL ontologies that allow to capture domain knowledge semantics precisely and rigorously. The tool is being developed as a part of the MONDIS project aimed at efficient knowledge management of immovable cultural heritage failures records. As such, the tool is currently used by civil engineering experts for collaborative authoring of structural damage records.
