In March 2024 I published the [[Obsidian]] plugin "[Semantic Canvas](obsidian://show-plugin?id=semantic-canvas)", which empowers [[Obsidian Canvas]]es and note properties to become aware of one-another. Its use makes the most sense in a [[PKM]] system that uses classes for notes, making [[Obsidian]] function more like [[Semantic Wikis]]. I don't actually use my own plugin here in [[My Notes]]... but I do use it in other vaults. It is like a much much more lightweight version of the Metadata Menu plugin. # Things I'd _Like_ it to Do Semantic Canvas is neat, but it's not able to turn [[Obsidian]] into the be-all-end-all tool for all [[Mind Mapping]] & modeling applications. Some of the things I'd _like_ to: - Bi-directional & automated sync between [[MVC Pattern|Model & View]] - Support alternate views, like [[Notion]]'s databases are capable of. - Be able to [[Reify]] links such that they can house their own extensible set of properties - Have conditional formatting based on - Note properties - Link properties - The ability to include Adornments like in GoJS where properties are bound to visual elements appended to the note's node. - Be able to have Note Properties displayed in place of their title/content on the Canvas - Include [[Reasoner]]s like you'd find in [[Protege]] to assert new facts This would make [[Obsidian as a Semantic Wiki]] more of a thing. Maybe someday. **** ## Source - Self ## Related - [[Obsidian as a Semantic Wiki]] - [[Diagram Types (index)]]
