Theory Mapping Website

f
The website would include the following:

• Theory Mapping software: to allow you to read, create and modify Maps;
• League tables of theories: for every Research Question, these would give the top scoring theories. Anyone visiting could either accept the ranking and decide to believe the winning theory, or take issue with it and participate in a Debate or Competition to promote their preferred theory.
  
• Discussion Boards: for each Research Question, these would contain a thread for each area of Agreed Facts in which the precise wording of the facts would be discussed by the debating parties and interested onlookers. Incoherencies within each theory would also be discussed, with the Discussion Board recording what was agreed.
  
• Libraries of Maps: libraries of Theory Maps searchable by Research Question, theory, author etc.
  
• Database of Agreed Facts: any facts that were agreed in Debates or Competitions would be stored here, so that they can be referred to and used in the future. This database could be seen as similar to Wikipedia, except that all the content is divided into user-friendly units (facts) that can be easily used in Theory Mapping e.g. facts can be easily downloaded and dragged into Maps to support theories.
  
• Personal profile: where you can bookmark your favourite theories, and get an email notification if the league table ranking of them changes.
