Thinking about organizing my research notes by domain

Not actually in the habit of opening a new note to start babbling into, yet; which makes sense as i just got the tooling minimally established, yesterday.

What brought me here right now is I'm going through my recent babbles to see what I need to start adding links to other nodes (i.e. if I mention Emacs, I want an Emacs node. If I want that, I want a capture template for defining terms… though Emacs is such a big term, it might actually be a whole domain, or at least subdomain under the tech domain?

Because I'm realizing I likely do want to organize my Org-mode directory by domain, not content-type, as, for example, I might have an encyclopedia of blockchain stuff, and an encyclopedia of Emacs stuff… and essays about both. And it would make more sense to keep the encyclopedia and essays about one topic together, than all the encyclopedia together in one spot and all the essays in another.

I'd already vaguely laid out what these domains might be when I laid out potential encyclopedia:

• Biology
• Blockchain
• Earth
• Emacs
• Sociology
• Technology

But, there are definitely other ones - Ontology, Ludology, etc. Also, it's not always an -ology, sometimes its a -metry.

Regardless, it feels like I should go ahead and reorganize my files, and the capture templates I've already made, including moving all the org-mode files under an org/ directory, so that published things can sit beside it in a pub/ directory.

All of that is actually a digression from the specific thing that brought me to babble, which is, I want to start logging what music I listen to (and enjoy, or otherwise find noteworthy), and that led me to wonder if the Org-roam Dailies feature is the best spot for that, or if there should be some other way to approach it. I'll continue that in Babble, 2025-07-21, 0959h
