====== Wiki Map Description ======
A [[:tools:wiki]] is a graph! Links between pages are edges between nodes.

Here ''[[:notebooks|:notebooks]]'', ''[[:publications|:publications]]'', and ''[[:grants|:projects]]'' are good entry points to find links to pages clustering around ''[[:brain|:brain]]'' (ROIs and behavioral measures, "results") and ''[[:tools|:tools]]'' ("methods"). Also see [[:brain#brain_vstools|:brain vs :tools]].
===== Major Namespaces =====

Top level organization strategy: '':notebooks'' and '':projects'' link to '':tools'' and '':brain''. A Link to the latter is like adding a tag to a twitter post or on zotero article, but these tags are richer. The tag ('':brain:acc'') can have it's own content and it's "backlinks" can be explored to trace the network back to notebooks and/or projects that link it. Using page links as tags allows us to observe connections and build a graph.

===== Backlinks =====

Every page collects backlinks: a list of pages that link to the current page. This allows us to backward traverse the link graph that is the wiki.

For instance, the backlinks of [[:brain:iron|:brain:iron]] show tat2 and R2prime both have links to [[:brain:iron|:brain:iron]]. 

This metadata is populated solely by e.g. [[tools:tat2|:tools:tat2]] having a link to [[:brain:iron|:brain:iron]].
