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 |
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 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.
Within page backlinks list
To automatically list backlinks on a page, use the wiki format syntax for generating text with the backinks pugin
{{backlinks>.}}
