This Repository/Folder/Wiki/Vault contains shared, public, freely usable Text and Data.

There is an associate, separate Folder/Wiki/Vault/Repository named 'xLarge' with shared, large, public Files/Attachments, designated to be checked out next to this Repository, to keep the size of this Repo small.

Conventions

Avoid Spaces

Although many Wikis support Spaces, we try to avoid them, because they create many Problems, not the least is that URLs and IRIs need to escape them. This increases support for other Platforms like TiddlyWiki etc. that recognize Wiki-Words For Readability we recommend using 'Kebab-Case' or 'Snake_Case'.

Use unique, combined Names

Although the File-Path disambiguates Files, we still avoid re-using the same File Name. The only exception are the ReadMe Files used to self-describe a Package. Consequently you must always qualify these with the Path or link to the associated 'outside' Folder Note.

This can be achieved easily by prepending or appending a generalizing or specializing Word. Unfortunately there is no universal Convention yet as how to order and separate these: Compare Lake Tahoe where the Class is leading to Oklahoma City where the Class is trailing.

Recommend Separators:

• Dash: - as in Kebab-Case; commonly used for combined Words like North-America; also preferred as a start-Character to sort Items to the Top of the List.
• Dot: '.' used to indicate a Hierarchy of Terms from the specific to the general as in wikipedia.de
• Tilde: ~ used to indicate Specialization (Sub-Hierarchy) from the general to the specific like Lake~Tahoe
• Underscore: _ as in Snake_Case, but NOT at the start or End of a Term, because it may be confused with italicizing

Reserved Characters:

Try to avoid these reserved Characters in Folder and File Names to prevent Escaping in URLs. Most are disallowed in Wiki-Names too. Instead use one of these Alternatives / Substitutes:

Char	Alt	Enc	Semantics
' '	_ - . ~	%20	Space: Prose Word Separator
%		%25	URL-Escape Character; Percent-Sign
< >		%3C %3E	less than and greater than
[ ]		%5B %5D	open and close brackets
{ }		%7B %7D	open and close braces
^		%5E	caret
|		%7C	pipe
\ /		%5C %2F	backslash

Reserved Tags and Attributes

To allow for Reasoning over the Data, it is necessary to agree on the Semantics of a Set of Tags and Attributes. This Library tends to generalizing Attributes, rather than specializing them. This may lead to ambiguities, but prevents fragmentation. Use Common Sense when inferring from these Attributes.
