“If your looking for a tool which enables you to represent a network of concepts with concepts containing their own sub-network of concepts then I suggest you look into the Compendium tool. You should also check out the CmapTool program which was developed for concept mapping but, unlike the Compendium tool, it does not use an underlining database which limits its functionality. They are both free and are supported by the developers. “
In short, the Compendium tool sounds closer to the Axxon Thought Processor concept as it “makes sense” of the visually described concepts, rather than just being a dedicated object-oriented drawing tool.
As far as I can tell from its looks, Aibase, mentioned here http://www.outliners.com/discuss/msgReader$3838?mode=day represents a similar approach, though more focused to managing the underlying data. For example, it seems to offer Project Management potential: http://www.aibase-cs.com/pm.html
All in all, the thin line between knowledge representation and management seems to be thinning furthermore.

Some of these tools seem to have their roots in Artificial Intelligence research, as implied by Aibase’s name incidentally. Axxon, for example, has been written in the AI language Prolog.
