+# Unlocking linked data: replacing specialized apps with an Org-based semantic wiki

+
+I try to maintain a lot of personal information, annotations, etc. in Org files
+but have historically switched back to purpose built apps for different kinds of
+data. There are recipe managers for recipes, personal CRM tools for people
+related notes, bookmark managers for managing web links, etc. While these apps
+do good with the kind of data they work on, they don't operate well together in
+the sense that they don't treat *links* between entities as first class citizen. I
+believe this gap is where a lot of *personal information* live. As an example,
+consider the chain of links that tells 'person a' gave me 'this recipe' on 'my
+anniversary'.
+
+After using zettlekasten via Org-roam for some time, I came to realize the power
+of links that we (can) form between data of different kinds. For me, these links
+offset the loss that comes with leaving specialized apps. With this, I have
+again gone back to Org files, but this time deriving good value from links
+between notes. Of course there are tons of other benefits of using Org files
+like better longevity, portability, versioning, and developer accessibility.
+
+In this talk, I will cover my workflow of creating and managing different kinds
+of notes in Org mode based Semantic Wiki and the link types they tend to have. I
+will also show my workflow outside of Emacs, where I use small tools that sit on
+top of Org files to deliver missing features of niche apps (like availability on
+mobile devices, smart cross data-type queries, etc.).
+
+About the speaker:
+
+I am a Programmer and Machine Learning Engineer, and I love working with
+computers primary because of the early experiences of infinite extensibility
+that Emacs gave me. For this talk I will cover my journey of using Org files
+for notes, then leaving for specialized applications, and finally coming back to
+Org to unlock the benefits of linked data.
