Interesting that there is also a silo version of Obsidian called Notion, which is also similar to Evernote. I wonder if this had any influence on your name? This is a reasonable indicator that it's a good name for these.

Example of dissertation being researched using Notion.

An interesting outline of how Colin Madland uses Notion for his Ph.D. research work.

He's got a good list of some pros and cons at the bottom. The export sounds a bit hairy on one front, but at least gives you some sort of back up in case the worst were to happen.

Not sure it's the thing for me and I'm happier with my workflow using Obsidian at the moment, though some of the ideas about process here could be helpful.

It looks like he's got some of the same issues in using Grav for his knowledge work as I do in WordPress, though the taxonomy and Webmention portions do tend to help me a bit.

Colin brought this to my attention at the OERxDomains21 conference.

Goal, is to figure out if I can do this with Notion.

The zettel is the smallest unit, a note entered into the system. It requires a unique identifier, the body/content for the note, and footer/references.

Actively include citations to other Zettels.

Notice the difference in user interface and onboarding between [[Notion]] and [[Roam Research]].

A big benefit of Roam is the speed with which you can make a link to a another page.

Two top-down approaches to note taking.

In evernote your notes live in Stacks, notebooks or notes.

In Notion and Workflowy you've got blocks than can be infinitely nested.
