Context is Everything

Information Trees

This is the secret behind Raven.

Raven remembers the context whenever Records are created, and organizes then them into Information Trees.

Information Trees are a natural, human-centric way to create, organize and remember knowledge. This is simply how we think.

There are four types of Record: Topic, Update, Task and Meeting. A Topic forms the trunk. Updates, Tasks and Meetings are branches that "grow" from the trunk.

Updates, Tasks and Meeting Records can be a child or a sibling to an existing Record:

1. Child Records
   These are added to the end of a branch and represent sequential actions/information;
   
   
2. Sibling Records
   These are added alongside other Records and represent parallel actions/information.
   

Tree Management

By default, a tree's branches are organized by creation date. The branches can, however, be re-organized:

1. Move Branch
   Detach part of a branch and re-attach it to another part of the Tree;
   
   
2. Re-Order Siblings
   Change the order of siblings in the Tree, so that (for example) the more important concepts/actions appear first.
