	Figure 6.1: Dialog map segment showing all three IBIS elements. Note the spreadsheet program icon in the upper left which is a hot link to a background source document for the discussion.
	Figure 6.3: Use of a Reference node to link to an external document (spreadsheet) to back up an answer.
	Figure 6.4: An example of how QuestMap's generic Map container for IBIS discussions has been adapted to other purposes, coupled with Reference nodes to external resources. EAD staff members have evolved a "time-line" map format to organize all of the maps and documents associated with a project, with time progressing left to right.
