in the last few days I have been using DT to digitize my notes. I have created a hierarchy of tags in order to know what each note is about and where it did from. In the process I have made following observations:
a. most nodes in the tree hierarchy of tags are not really tags, they just keep related tags (their children) together
b. sometimes the name of a child-tag is not really helpfull unless you take into consideration the name of the parent tag
A concrete example: I created a tags hierarchy for my books (including their chapters so I can exactly pin-point the source of the note), see Figure 1. Regarding the tags attached to the selected note:
a. the “books” tag isn’t really necessary
b. the “Chapter 1” tag needs the “First book” tag to become meaningful
So my suggestion:
a. prepend a tag with a period (.) to make it invisible in the tags bar
b. prepend a tag with a colon (
to display it with the parent tag in the tags bar, e.g. “First book: Chapter1” in the above example
I hope all this makes some sense.
