title = "Concept specification maps - Displaying content structures",
abstract = "In introductory courses there are topics with a huge amount of concepts and interdependencies between them. Especially in the course materials the relevant definitions or specifications are widely spread. This paper presents a semiautomatic way of text analysis to display the structure of concepts in literature such as textbooks. Therefore we searched for text paragraphs that contain a definition or specification of a given concept. From the results we built a graphical representation, containing {"}definition-nodes{"} that show the logical structure of those concepts. We call it a Concept Specification Map. Furthermore we show an application of the method on five textbooks of introductory courses into object-oriented programming. We present the results of the analysis and draw some conclusions on their influence regarding introductory courses.",
