I'm thinking that the practical way to deal with this, at least using Jed's system, would be to create a set of separate tiddlers as Definitions.
Each tiddler would be tagged with Definition (instead of as a plant) and would have a compound title. Like: Root-Antiseptic It would then have two fields, "useful_part" and "effect". You would set these up in advance, mostly, to save time during data entry. Because they're tagged as Definitions, a drop-down list could be used in the Edit template to allow you to select appropriate items. Possibly a compound select using one of the fields could be used to help make the selection easier (a compound list is a list separated into categories). You would do the same thing for other associations (e.g. plant part - chemical) Have fun, Mark On Monday, May 23, 2016 at 4:26:41 AM UTC-7, Radium wrote: > > *Idea for relating the values between TWO different TagTypes (uses, parts, > chems, etc):* > > For scientific fields which require this level of detail, like > pharmacognosy (study of medicinal plants and making drugs out of them). > > > Example uses: > - sorting the plants with "tyramine" inside their "root". > - sorting the plants with "stimulant" effects within their "bark" > > Obviously we need a Dict datatype here which can optionally store arrays > as both key and value: > [[key]:[value]] > > 1:n examples: > - [root:[stimulant, antiseptic, neuroprotective]] (part:effect pair) > - [root:[tyramine, caffeine, yohimbine, capsicin]] (part:chem pair) > > n:m examples: > - [[root, leaf, bark]:[depressant, cardiotoxic]] > - [[branch, blossom]:[tyramine, tannins]] > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
