A Label has a type, a name and a value and can be added to snips. A snip can have several labels. Snips can be found and displayed by label.
Ideas for types are:
- author
- source
- from (since when the snip should be seen)
- to (until when the snip should be seen)
- contact (snip contains contact information)
- calendar (snip should be placed in calendar at given date), see Calendaring
- category (snip contains information of category, e.g. "Java", "XML")
- type (type of snip, e.g. "person", "idea", "thing")
- weblog_category snip is category e.g. "Personal" or "Technology"
Comment:
I don't know right now. Perhaps labels are linked to a snip and edited on their own. Or they might be added to the snip like
\{@type:person\}
\{@category:Java\}
Or a combination of both.
Discussion about wiki pages as weblogs (perhaps with labels):
Concept was partially used in solent.
Several other packages employ this concept:
(Default) Label types
Perhaps someone can fill out the table.
| label type | description/intension | examples |
|---|
| TaxonomyLabel | used to build taxonmy trees and make them with a macro browseable like yahoo. | Language->OO->Java |
| RenderEngine | unknown | |
| Boolean | unknown | |
| CategoryLabel | confusingly similar to TaxonomyLabel | |
| SnipLabel | creates a snip link | if the label's name is "foo" and its link target (snip) is "bar", the labels box will include a line with "foo bar". This snip (Label) has a SnipLabel with name="Projektleiter" and link target="stephan". |
| TypeLabel | used to define CategoryLabel (see Category) | |
