Try to choose tags which distinguish items rather than tags which just describe itвЂ™s characteristics. In my opinion InfoQube has the best hierarchical tagging system of any program available at the time of writing, closely followed by ConnectedText. Selecting from a list is easier, quicker and less prone to errors than typing search terms. Search can be made easier by the use of tags, particularly if the tagging system is hierarchical and has inheritance. In my experience this break in concentration is obtrusive. If you are in the middle of composing a document or trying to find understanding of some difficult problem then you have to stop concentrating on the problem at hand and think about search terms. Search is less well used than it would be because it involves a break in concentration. Search is often portrayed as the most useful way of finding things but in my experience it is not used as often as the other methods. This is especially useful as it requires less verbalВ attention and more visual attention, people do it without thinking about it and whilst concentrating on something else which is why it is so often overlooked. One form of metadata which is often overlooked but always relied upon is location, people navigate to where they last saw the item they are looking for.

Metadata comes in many forms, not just the obvious ones. Think of how you would locate this note if you didnвЂ™t know where it was, what tags would you search for? What would you expect it to be linked to? What might you search for? Make sure that the terms you might search for appear in the text, if not then include them as a list at the end of the note. Think of it as having a conversation with your future self. These are the clues which will lead you back to this note in the future. It is worth the time and effort to add a relevant metadata to a note as you create it whilst it is still fresh in your mind. If you have a large corpus of notes without any metadata then they might as well be written in a foreign language for all the good they will be to you. So how can you locate an item of information? It is all in the metadata, the information about information. The art of a good note taking program is providing facilities for the user to be able to locate an item within their notes even though they have forgotten almost everything about it. Things like references (links), indexes (tags) and categories have been used in computer programs to ease the location of information. Over the years librarians have come up with many tools for dealing with this problem and many of these tools have been adapted for the digital era. This is a problem which has existed for as long as there have been collections of documents. If you have a large collection of notes then thereВ will beВ times when you cannot find the note which you want to find even though you know that it exists somewhere within the collection of documents.
