You might be interested in the links on my Boethius page to manuscripts containing the arbor porphyriana: http://www.piggin.net/stemmahist/boethiuscatalog.htm Briefly, the oldest evidence for the figure comes from Boethius, so we don’t know if Porphyry used it. As for the idea that it resembles a tree, that’s a medieval spin to it. The early node-and-link diagrams are not arboreal at all.

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB) has its own diagram of its curricular framework: http://www.ibo.org/diploma/curriculum/ – this is for high school students. An interesting current application. Theory of Knowledge, by the way, is sort of an epistemology course, about ways of knowing, that both my kids, who took this curriculum, benefited from quite a bit.

In the 80′ the Enciclopedia Einaudi published a quite innovative encyclopedia organised neither in alphabetical order nor as a tree but as a sort of venn diagram with an index of recurrencies of terms inside other terms. The structure of the encyclopedia was a precursor of the hypertext. Unfortunately the project was not very successful, so on-line there are very few traces, I have found this image that can give you an idea http://htmlimg1.scribdassets.com/9bm1goi0ao1vib2v/images/2-4bab5953f1.jpg
