I came across TW5 while coding a personal document management for myself, and TW5 seem to be an excellent candidate. However I would like to expose a feature that may really be neat for managing all kind of informations, and that do not seem to exist from my (newbie) understanding :
1. Allow one *Property *to be multi-valued. 2. Allow a *Property *to target a *Tiddler*. This somehow is equivalent to a *Link*. 3. Allow a *Property *to have a semantic meaning. For example, a *Tiddler *about the book "*C Programming Language*" could use *property *"*Has Author*" twice, targetting "*Ritchie*" and "*Kernighan*". Not that a *property *is directionnal, and that the reverse has a different meaning (something like "*Was written by*"). This may be familiar for users of the Semantic extension of Mediawiki. This *Property *feature could probably be implemented by extending an existent features : - *Links *already allow 1 and 2 and back-links exists. Currently *Links *do not convey any specific meaning. They just represent a generic "has something to do with" relationship. - *Fields *allow 3, without any "reverse meaning" because *Tiddlers *are currently not valid targets (2.). Maybe this fits the "Tiddler object format" deferred task of the roadmap. Internally, such *Properties *could even be used to implement *Fields*, *Links*, or *Tags*,, as the laters seem to be specific cases of a more generic one. Do some of you need such a feature ? Did someone manage to tweak TW5 do achieve this without changing it ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
