Example: you read an interesting thought from a famous scientist - save it in Conoted and link the profile of this scientist to the note. Now you have both the idea itself and the name of the person who suggested it at hand.

In our example, if you add the profile of a famous scientist to a note, but the scientist himself is not present in our knowledge base as a living user, then such a profile really just becomes a kind of "tag".

  • Live user: you can exchange notes and engage in dialogue right inside the system. The result is a dynamic social graph in which real communication and knowledge exchange takes place.
  • Human as a tag (not an active user): you add his name and profile to notes simply for convenient classification, but no actual interaction occurs. You get just a static label - and your graph, accordingly, becomes a graph of tags.


How will the graphs differ:

1. Social graph (dynamic):

These are live contacts and interactions between people who are present in the application and are able to respond, react, share notes. This is what makes the knowledge base truly dynamic and alive.

2. Tag graph (static):

If you link the name or profile of a famous person (for example, a famous scientist or author) who is not in the system, this becomes a convenient tag for navigation and organization of information, but does not create a dialogue and dynamics.


Which solution to choose in Conoted?

The optimal solution is to use both types of graphs and combine them into one graph.

  • The user graph (social) will help build active communication and exchange of ideas.
  • The tag graph (static) will allow you to create convenient systems of links and associations between information and its sources, even if the sources are not connected to Conoted.

The result is a hybrid system:

  • If a person is already using the application, he becomes part of the social graph.
  • If a person is not in the app, they automatically become a tag, which is still useful for searching and navigation.


This will make Conoted much more efficient: users will be able to both interact with real people and conveniently organize information using “people tags”, preserving its context and origin.

So adding people to notes is useful even in cases where the person is not an active participant - then they simply act as a convenient, understandable and personalized tag.
