This is my [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) knowledge base. The general idea for how this [zettelkasten](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zettelkasten) will work is as follows... - Folders represent topics - Each folder/topic will have a "map" note which will contain links to all notes related to that topic - Other files within that folder should pertain most centrally to that topic - Note: this is a general rule-of-thumb and likely many topics will overlap (see next bullet) - Papers and topics are linked together with tags (`#`) and links (`[[]]`) - **Anything tagged with `TODO` represents a note which has not been completed** - These notes can be filtered via search (does not work online at the moment) - Other related things should be tagged at the bottom under the `Related` section (e.g., concepts, notes, anything) - At a minimum, all files should be tagged with the topic/folder they are primarily located within. For example, if you have the below folder/file system... ``` topic_X |_ file1.md |_ file2.md ``` - ... then `file1.md` and `file2.md` should all have a `#topic_X` within the `Related` section at the bottom of those files. - See for example, that this file is tagged with [[workflow]] below. - Notes are created with Obsidian [[00 - My Templates Map | templates]] in an attempt to keep things organized ### Naming convention for papers and books Papers (and books) should be prefixed with "Paper" (or "Book") and should use the below naming convention. ``` Paper_FirstAuthorLastName_YYYY_MemorableKeyWords ``` or ``` Book_FirstAuthorLastName_YYYY_MemorableKeyWords ``` > Note: everything above, prior to `MemorableKeyWords`, should follow [[Snake Case]] format and `MemorableKeywords` should follow [[Camel Case]] format. An example of the above would be [[Paper_Weng_2012_LimitedAttention]]. This convention allows for a concise, simple, and easy to remember way to search for papers. ### Naming convention for general notes General notes should be named in whatever way you think you'll remember them most easily. Since general notes can be about anything, there is not really a great way to make searching for them easier with naming conventions. E.g., we can't narrow the search with an `author_year` combination, so we must use our 🧠 --- #### Related [[workflow]]
