[Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) allows us to Tag, Link, and aggregate data together to find trends and commonalities as well as easily search for related content by simply writing notes in [Markdown](https://www.markdownguide.org/cheat-sheet/) (see the [[Markdown-Cheat-Sheet.pdf]]). It uses [Graph Theory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_theory) to map relationships between objects commonly known as "Nodes". For example, in the image below we can see the following relationships: To date, we have the following Nodes to which we map relationships between: - 👤 **Person** - a single unique individual - 🏛️ **Organizations** - Companies, Governments, non-profits, think tanks, etc. - 📜 **Evidence** - Verifiable evidence that can be substantiated - 🕵️**Intelligence** - Any intelligence relating to our topics regardless of validity. - 🎓 **Research** - Any research/analysis conducted against an incident, intelligence, or other. - 🔥 **Incidents** - Sightings, verified video and testimony, and trusted content. <img src="https://publish-01.obsidian.md/access/1c31a6f93f82a49b0a9eb31193d6cdec/_images/graph.png" style="border:1px solid #000000; border-radius: 10px"> ## Trust Scoring We understand that much of this information can be subjective and qualitative. As such, we've [created a trust scoring model](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CUarxE7P1cPwgWXwJzzeWnZGm1c6Wp2Ttazdt3VPM_s/edit?pli=1#gid=0) that is applied to much of the content on this site and each writeup/piece of content will have an associated "Trust Score" at the top of the page. For more information, see [[⭐ Trust Scores]]. ## Why Do We Need This? 1. To build a single comprehensive dataset that anyone can use and understand. 2. To consolidate information (Open Source) using accepted methods and practices adding additional validity to claims. 3. To enable interested parties who don't know where to start by teaching and communicating. 4. To utilize the community as a whole to scale the content making it even more impactful. ## Contribution and Management Contributors can use any of the following methods to add/edit content to this site: 1.
