I ran the video at 1.25 speed, so might have missed something. *Summary*
The interest was mostly about gathering and publishing references for published texts, which is somewhat of a niche specialty. Three of the products were aimed at gathering references. The same 3 had advanced PDF handling ability. Evernote only offers PDF advanced handling for a premium. There were 3 internal reference tools: Categories, Tags, Linking. The 3 citation tools had all 3 abilities. The speaker said that Evernote does not have sub-categories (tags with sub-tags) but that is not true (I can create sub-categories on the desktop). *Comparison with TW.* They all had better web-scraping abilities than TW where a complete capture is difficult even with Tiddly Clip. TW has no native advanced PDF handling. In particular, no way of adding annotations. Possibly someone could add a field to a _canonical_uri. TW does not have sub-category abilities, though I imagine someone could come up with a system of naming conventions to emulate it. I didn't watch the prior video to find out why you want sub-categories, but the narrator seemed to think they were important. TW does not have citation reporting abilities. Data would need to be captured in a structured manner. Someone could write a special edition with specialized fields that might make that available (though rules of citation format are a real pain). For the particular task of gathering, annotating, and citing references TW is weak out-of-the-box and in a different category. Someone might still prefer it due to it's portability and simplicity, especially if the final product can be produced with some other tool and/or citation requirements are not as strict. Using a tool like TiddlyClip helps also. Being able to create quick, relative links to local resources would be a real boon for research projects. -- Mark On Thursday, March 15, 2018 at 12:54:38 AM UTC-7, Mat wrote: > > Nice comparison between Mendeley, Zotero, Evernote & Citavi > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKGZlfaiE0E > > IMO particularly worth noting things from a TW dev point of view but > overall interesting for info-system-geeks. > > <:-) > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
