ideas for a map

Asking what pages under category Publication have authors seems quite dull. I'd like to create maps that explore the "link" of each page, and connect pages based on these "links". Use the links, the relational structures between content, to tell stories.

What is it that I exactly call "links"? Maybe I need to think of examples:

• for instances the pyramid. I want to see what pages refer to the pyramid, and draw its map.

While writing an text, an author can say [[subject::pyramid]]

• a timeline

• a map of images.
  • Property:Place includes the page and has the value: Cimetière_d'Ixelles or in other words Cimetière_d'Ixelles has the propety-value [[Place::Cimetière d'Ixelles]]
  • Cimetière_d'Ixelles is also linked from House,_City,_World,_Nation,_Globe, where it appears on a timeline:

|-
| [[date::1944]]
|| Death of [[Paul Otlet]]. He is buried in [[Cimetière d'Ixelles|Etterbeek cemetery]].
|| EVENT
|| CITY
|-

• • why is the date the only semantic property and Cimetière d'Ixelles does not appear as [[Place::Cimetière d'Ixelles]]??
  • if [[Place::Cimetière d'Ixelles]], when searching for that place, we would be pointed to that place in the timeline.
  • in that way we could correlate Date and Place

• A Date based index
• A Place based index
