Wiki Map Description

A Wiki (tool) is a graph! Links between pages are edges between nodes.

Here :notebooks, :publications, and :projects are good entry points to find links to pages clustering around :brain (ROIs and behavioral measures, “results”) and :tools (“methods”). Also see :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.

Namespace Desc
:notebooks Research Notes, “blog”
:grants grants and protocols
:projects projects in the lab
:brain Things that are studied
:tools Tools and Methods
:admin administration, meta, misc
:publications published studies

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 show tat2 and R2prime both have links to :brain:iron.

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

To automatically list backlinks on a page, use the wiki format syntax for generating text with the backinks pugin

{{backlinks>.}}
