I'm trying to use TiddlyWiki to map / document some company's IT infrastructure. There are couple types of entities (tiddlers) servers, network equipment, software, OS, vendors, manufacturers, specs etc. I provide relationships between entities by tags and individual properties of each entity by values of particular fields. On the one hand TiddlyWiki's hierarchal table of content mechanism based on tagging. On the other hand I decided to use tiddlers fields as kind of "variables" in order to stor and refer to a different values by field's name. But in some cases for some tiddlers I discovered that tags and fields with identical value. For example in tiddler for server I need tag "Server" in order to link this tiddler to the server's branch of TOC and on the other hand I have comp_type field with value server in order to describe that this computer's type is server. So in practice I have two variables with the same value that must be the same for both of them all the time. And if I would like to change the value I have to be very cautious and do not forget to change both of them simultaneously. So I thought why don't I link them together. I'll have single variable that I could link to a tag and to a field. And change it in one place only. Is it a way to use tiddlers field values to provide TOC structure?
