Relationship Tags

[Auroratide]

A relationship tag is a special type of tag that relates two cards together. For example, a character Greg can be an employee to a workplace E-Cargo. A relationship tag "employee" would be assigned to Greg with E-Cargo defined as the relating note.

This allows possible views like "Employees of E-Cargo", or "All Employees in general", or "All things related to Greg".

This feature is what would truly distinguish Sifetti from competing ideas.

Without relationship tags, this can be accomplished with clever use of ordinary tags. For instance, "employee" and "e-cargo" could be tags on Greg. Relationship tags prevent the need to create tags in place of notes, in essence reducing the duplication of data. Furthermore, relationships are a very useful way of thinking about different concepts.

Much needs to be thought through in terms of how one would specify, define, and use relationship tags, especially in the presence of ordinary tags.
