Tags

meta

This note contains a collection of tags that will be shared by all notes. The aim of this note is to provide a consistent naming convention for all notes across the cauldron.

Guidelines

  • Use singular nouns wherever possible.
  • Use plural nouns when the document is a collection of similar items.
  • Let the tag be an answer to “What is this document about?”
  • Always begin with the coarsest tag and then add finer tags. To be more specific, follow this sequence:
    • <core topic tag>, for example, linear algebra
      • <sub topic tag>, for example, matrix factorization
        • <sub-sub topic tag>, for example, eigendecomposition
    • <course tag>
    • <note tag>
    • <state tag>
  • Whenever a new tag is discovered, add it to this list.

State tag

Each note should pass through three stages:

  • publish: a note is published if it is deemed complete

A published note may still undergo emendations.
