Within the [[Digital Garden]], I like to define a set of entities that can inhabit within the notes. This is a basic taxonomy of the kinds of notes to better understand their contents with simple categories.
- **Concept**: when a note contains a definition on a concrete concept.
- **Idea**: when a note contains a more abstract idea, to be defined or that relates several concepts.
- **Practice**: when the note contains notes about how something is done, like a tutorial or guide.
- **Recipe**: arguably a practice, but it is for specific things like cooking or brewing. It makes it easier to find these notes when using the [[Obsidian Bases Plugin|Bases plugin]].
- **Person**: a special note that refers to an existing person. These nodes are mostly used to link authors of different works or people I worked with at some point.
These entities are added to each note as tags, to find the easily and being able to categorize them in searches and the graph view within [[Obsidian]], as well as the [[Obsidian Bases Plugin]], since they are defined in the YAML front-matter of each note using the `type` property (i.e. `type: concept`).
