Obsidian Bases are .base YAML files that store dynamic views, filters, and formulas to organize notes. They transform a flat vault into a searchable knowledge base, allowing you to generate databases-like views, filter by tags or folders, and build dashboards.

Set up a .base file by creating a new YAML file and defining a schema with views, filters, formulas, and properties. You can start with a basic table view to organize notes and then configure global filters to drive dynamic summaries across your vault.

The best way to validate a YAML base schema for Obsidian notes is to ensure it is correctly implemented against the defined structure for views, filters, formulas, and properties. This validation ensures your dynamic queries and summaries function properly.
