passingby, IMO it is hard for anyone else to tell what you should do. A lot depends on your detailed workflow and how you'll use this meta data. My suggestion is that you just make a qualified guess - because you can *change it later* (e.g by means of the Batch Manipulator <http://batchmanipulator.tiddlyspot.com/>)
But just a few things to note... most/all that you already know, but you did ask.... Tags are much easier to work with than fields or dictionaries. Tags are *designed *specifically for easily creating hierarchies and associations, and to assemble lists etc. There can only be one instance per field(-name), say, "foo" in a tiddler, and it has a few limitations in how it can be named. But it can contain anything, for example multiple fields can contain the same and repeated value. You can make custom fields part of the tiddler template. Both the edit template and the viewtemplate. Actually, you might want to snoop around for how to make *forms* for filling in your data. At least you should use templates to avoid unnecessary work. Regarding dictionaries: they are kind of similar to fields in their limitations but gathered in one place. IMO, the term "dictionary" is very suitable and I don't quite get the impression that it is "dictionary functionality" that you're after with your limited set of repeated, um, "headings". There are for sure more things to know that may affect your decision, but my main point is that your gut feeling is probably the best start. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
