My apologies if this question is rather basic. I’m currently using a trial of DT Personal, but may also try DT Pro.
I have two major content areas, neither of which should have much overlap. Both contents are professional.
One I can generally call “internet marketing” and from this data I write blog posts, short whitepapers and develop proposals and action plans for customers.
The second is more research based, across several disciplines (psychology, physiology etc.) and I am using the data to develop a book proposal and some online content areas.
Would it be best to create two unique databases for each the two general content areas above?
Thanks - Ryan
You can start out with top-level groups separating your ‘Internet marketing’ and ‘research’ content.
I see two practical reasons for creating separate databases as your volume of content grows.
The first is simply responsiveness, given your computer’s RAM and CPU resources.
The second is improved focus of searches and the AI functions (Classify and See Also), especially if there is little or largely irrelevant overlap of portions of the content. For example, I have two large databases holding environmental topics. The main one is conceptual, primary information about environmental science and technology, legal and regulatory documents and policy issues. The second holds methodological information, such as sampling and analysis protocols, methodologies for evaluating environmental data and for risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis. Creating separate databases improves the focus of searches, classification and See Also suggestions in each database. I have still other databases holding data unrelated to either of those interests, such as financial data, etc.
Thanks Bill. That was crystal clear and very helpful - Ryan
