# PKMS ideas and Taxonomy
[Wikipedia Link](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_knowledge_management)
( Type: System )
## Description
Personal knowledge-management system (PKMS) notes and the full folder taxonomy used to organize this vault — a running brainstorm of PKM concepts (search vs. orienteering, predictive information management, project vs. meta-project information) plus an older draft numbering scheme (`.000`–`.100`) for journals, projects, research subjects, tools, media, data, and work folders. The current vault's `100`/`200`/`900`-series folder structure descends from this draft.

Pim Concepts
search vs orienteering
search permits flattening, symbolic links permit multiple organization systems depending on context, eg different links and tools in an email,
_Predictive_ Information Management, incorporating:
Autocomplete in documents and dialogs
likely snippets of code or info in a shade
Project information management
+ tasks
+ files
+ content
+ requirements
+ notes
+ links
+ contacts
Meta-Project information management:
+ Reporting and documenting:
+ Time on tasks
+ versions
use orienteering for `Organizing`, not `Keeping`
eg.
+ use mind map for restructuring a large flat collection of documents or tags
+ use folders for structuring a print document or collection
