Obsidian users struggle to structure and query notes using Bases (.base files) to create multi-view schemas, global filters, and computed summaries.
Use the obsidian-bases skill to create a new base file named Research.base with a single 'table' view that lists files and author property. Then extend with additional views and formulas as needed.

You can create dynamic data views in Obsidian by generating .base files with multiple views, global filters, formulas, and summaries to query and aggregate vault notes. This allows you to catalog files by properties like author, tag, or date dynamically.
Yes, Obsidian bases support formulas and summaries to derive insights and generate automated reports. By exposing note properties through parsed YAML, you can compute values and create decision support summaries directly within your vault data views.
The best way to catalog notes by author and tags is to define a multi-view Base file with table, cards, or list views. You can apply global and per-view filters to organize vault data and generate year-based or property-based summaries.
Obsidian supports multiple view types within a single base file, allowing you to switch between table, cards, and list layouts. This multi-view schema lets you inspect vault notes from different angles using custom properties and global filters.
Validating YAML structure for Obsidian base files involves checking the base schema to ensure views, filters, and formulas are correctly parsed. This validation prevents structural errors and ensures properties are accurately exposed for dynamic reporting.
Obsidian base filters may fail if the YAML properties are improperly formatted or the base structure is invalid. Ensuring the base file correctly parses YAML and exposes the date properties will resolve filter and summary generation issues.
