I use TiddlyWiki to manage sources (books, movies etc), and I want to create an easy way to add tiddlers for individual sources.
I have decided to add tiddlers that represent a "source-type", and then use it to generate a form that allows me to enter metadata for a new source. For example I might have a source type "Book", which is used to generate a form like this: Title: ... Author: ... Year: ... While "Movie" might have a form like this: Title: ... Director: ... Producer: ... Obviously I need to associate the required metadata-fields with their source-type. I can think of two ways to do this: - Add a field to each tiddler type called "required-fields" which lists the required metadata-fields. - Create separate tiddlers for each possible metadata-field, then tag them with any source-type that requires them. It's not obvious to me that there is any functional difference between these two options, but if I make a bad choice it will be difficult to change down the line. So my question is: *Is there a reason that one of these approaches is better than the other?* Thanks in advance for you help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
