Tags

These tags are presented in an associative order.

#destiny

#destiny describes the permanency of an item. It does not necessarily reflect its current tags#status.

#destiny/fleeting

The content of an item tagged #destiny/fleeting will ultimately be absorbed into another note and the file deleted.

These notes may deviate from standard formatting.

#destiny/permanent

Notes tagged #destiny/permanent are intended for long-term use.

They are expected to reflect standard formatting and should be heavily tagged and linked.

#status

#status reflects the remaining work necessary to bring an item to the standard of its tags#destiny.

#status/incomplete

Beyond intent, the note offers little to go on.

#status/draft

The main content of the note is present, but:

  • text may need to be reflowed
  • links may need to be added
  • citations may be necessary

#status/complete

The text flows well, the note is sufficiently tagged and linked, and citations are included as appropriate

#topic

Notes can and usually will have multiple topic tags.

#topic/meta

Relating to the structure or intent of this notebook.

#topic/software

Relating to specific software written by others, or hypothetical software functionality I've conceived.

The latter I generally relegate to tags#destiny/fleeting, to be absorbed into the specifications of the relevant project when the idea is sufficiently developed.

#topic/automation

On the subject of lightweight scripts that could reduce redundancy in processes, without requiring fundamental change.

#topic/construction

Relating to the construction industry including trade methods as well as business concerns.

#topic/construction/electrical

Relating to electrical installation, including:

  • code
  • material

#topic/estimating

Relating to the field of cost estimation, as understood in construction-estimating as well as other industries.

This topic also includes concepts that may be useful to estimation, but that aren't widely understood to be.

#topic/math

#topic/risk

Relating to mathematical and abstract concepts of risk.

#topic/ergonomics/organizational

On the subject of optimal-patterns for processes of varying importance.

#topic/ambiguity

#topic/transparency

#topic/hobbies

#topic/other

Notes relating to subjects not relevant to this notebook's supertopics, but that I include for the convenience of editing them in Obsidian. Some standouts include:

#occupational

Items tagged #occupational include information and instructions relevant to my current occupation that may not reflect construction-estimating practice in the wider industry.

[!info] This tag is largely separate from the wider vault. I would probably move them to their own repository were it not for the complexity of preserving the version history of both.

#occupational/takeoff

Important

Notes tagged #occupational/takeoff/* include information as understood by PDI, which is not necessarily consistent with (and often sharply deviates from) wider industry understanding.

#type

#type/idea

[!danger] Deprecated Tag Use of this tag has been deprecated in favor of periodic-notes.

Items of #type/idea are recommendation that I do something in the future, possibly including some details of how to go about it, or some specific insight.

They have the minimum amount of information necessary to allow me to return to them.

They are always? of tags#destiny/fleeting.

#type/task

%% TODO %%

#type/guide

Items of #type/guide give instructions to complete a specific process.

#type/encyclopedia

Items of #type/encyclopedia are thorough, use exact language, and include citations.

They describe concepts as they are, not as they should be.

#type/encyclopedia-entry

Items of #type/encyclopedia-entry are children of a #type/encyclopedia. The parent may or may not yet exist.

#type/philosophy

Items of #type/philosophy are highly opinionated. They describe concepts as I believe them to be.

They are always? of tags#authorship/original.

#type/anecdote

%% TODO %%

#type/minutes

[!info] I'm unsatisfied with the name of this tag. It is subject to change.

%% TODO %%

#type/media

Items of #type/media are entire works, usually reference material like code books, but could also be my own standalone pieces.

#type/media-commentary

Items of #type/media-commentary are note length critiques of specific media.

%% TODO %%

#authorship

#authorship reflects my claim to the content of an item in its current state.

#authorship/original

Items of #authorship/original are primarily my own work. Content from other sources is properly cited.

#authorship/other

[!info] I'm unsatisfied with the name of this tag. It is subject to change.

Items of #authorship/other are not my own work. They may be of one source or a collection of several without significant commentary.

#authorship/other-for-now

Items of #authorship/other-for-now will eventually be #authorship/original, but that do not yet include original work.

They are always of tags#status/not-started.
