Links between notes create a network of knowledge.

* Types of Links

** Hierarchical
Parent-child relationships (folders, outlines)

** Associative  
Related concepts ([[file:zettelkasten.org][Zettelkasten]] style)

** Sequential
Reading order, workflows

* Why Links Matter

#+begin_src text
  [Note A] --- related to --- [Note B]
      |                           |
      +--- supports --- [Note C] -+
#+end_src

Links reveal:
- Hidden connections
- Knowledge gaps
- Entry points

* Backlinks

When [[file:atomic-notes.org][Atomic Notes]] links here, this page knows about it. Backlinks show:

- Who references this concept
- How the idea is used
- Related contexts

* Tools Supporting Links

See [[file:../projects/website.org][Website Project]] for publishing linked notes.

The web itself is built on links cite:bernerslee1999.
