Bibliography
gollark: If you tracked clicks on each internal link you could estimate connection importance that way. Or manually specify importance levels. Or have something to emphasise links between big clusters.
gollark: > it seems like you're talking more about an API?Yes, I think the ability to do that might be more useful to (some) external services than having UI in Athens itself.> Dokuwiki does seem interesting thoughIt's a pretty good selfhosted wiki engine. It doesn't have knowledge-graph-y features because it was mostly made before that became a topic of interest, but does have... search, links, somewhat okay formatting, and many plugins. I currently run an instance because it seemed the best available stable thing when I was setting up things and it is quite hard to migrate now.
gollark: Sorry if I'm explaining this somewhat badly. I can probably clarify. I mean something like this (https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:struct) but without necessarily having to define a schema somewhere. I think this would be good for a few categories of thing, such as, say, exporting a list of cards (defined in notes) into a spaced repetition system. Possibly calendar events/reminders too, but you'd probably want a way to remove expired ones.
gollark: Regarding integration/plugins (I didn't see this being thought of here before or on github when I did a search, but my queries might have been bad): a nice/general way to integrate some types of external service without having to integrate per-service code could be to have a way to have blocks containing arbitrary machine-readable data (with a nice UI to edit it) and a type field, and an API to find all/all recent blocks with a given type.
gollark: It has fancy diagrams.
