The objective of this study was to classify, according to Peirce’s definition of the term sign, the
various forms of concept mapping presented in 2000 and 2004 proceedings of ISKO Conferences. Our
analysis was unable to discover relationships between Peirce’s Thirdness category and Interpretant
classifications with regard to concept mapping. The concept mappings we analyzed did not provide text
descriptions nor graphic representations as they had when we analyzed Firstness, Secondness, Object and
Representamen representations.
