Philosophy

Each meta is a note, and each note is like a short Wikipedia article. Some notes are not metas, but other types of objects. Tags are the flexible classification hierarchy that meta types are also queryable by (meta/antenna vs. meta/building).

Different properties are required for different object types. The primary object types are:

  • Meta, via meta/. Metas are atomic pieces of distinct information.
  • Document, via document/. Documents are cohesive and longform readable collections of information, whether it be metas or tips.
  • Tip, via tip/. Tips are specific and shortform readable collections of information.

The schema is defined in the contributing page.
