In this video, I delve into the concept of concept modeling using the Excalidraw Plugin in Obsidian.md. Starting with a focus question, I explore the key elements of a diagram, such as shapes, lines, labels, and more. By creating a concept map, I illustrate how concepts are interconnected and how they form propositions. Additionally, I discuss the importance of concept modeling as a foundational step in content creation and learning. I also compare concept maps with mind maps, highlighting their differences and use cases. Finally, I emphasize the significance of concept modeling in enhancing understanding and knowledge refinement.
