# Meta-Fieldnote A fieldnote represents something from the outside world (e.g. facts, procedures) entering my own world and is **contextualized** for me by asking *How does this relate to me?"* (contrary to a classic "wiki", which simply lists facts). Many researchers kept a note-book containing their observations of the world around them. These notes aim to serve the same purpose — **a notepad I write into while exploring**. Fieldnotes are usually created while exploring a topic, which means they appear in a [[Meta-Naming|certain order]] and [[Meta-Linking|relate]] to other topics. --- ## Related - **previous** [[Meta]] - **see** [[Meta-Zettel]] for the note describing notes of the type Zettel - **see** [[Meta-Naming]] for the naming conventions and prefix - **see** [[Meta-Linking]] for more information about linking notes ## Sources - **references** [writing.bobdoto.computer](https://writing.bobdoto.computer/how-to-handle-facts-in-your-zettelkasten/) for the basic idea on how to handle facts in a Zettelkasten ## Usage - **used in** none --- ## Changelog - [[2026-06-07]]: Initial creation
