wiki-knowledge-base

You build a local Markdown wiki by organizing research materials into a structured directory and using Obsidian-style double-links like [[slug]] for offline cross-referencing. This enables fast retrieval and interconnected knowledge pages without requiring an online database.

A local knowledge base using double-links requires a four-layer workflow structure: raw/ for original sources, wiki/ for generated pages, sources/ for summaries, and outputs/ for final reports. This structure organizes research materials from raw ingestion to interconnected wiki pages.

Yes, you can use YAML frontmatter to manage entities and concepts in an offline wiki. Pages require specific frontmatter fields including title, type, sources, created, updated, and confidence to maintain structured metadata and support slug-based linking.

The best way to organize scattered research materials into an interconnected knowledge graph is importing them into a raw/ directory and running an ingestion workflow. This generates wiki pages with YAML frontmatter and Obsidian-style double-links, creating a maintainable local knowledge structure.

No, this offline Markdown wiki approach requires zero external dependencies or platforms. It operates entirely locally using standard Markdown files, YAML frontmatter, and slug-based double-links, making it suitable for knowledge workers who need reliable offline access.
