Also thanks!
What do you mean by this? Can you please give an example with notation?
Let’s see… an easy example is hierarchy - you have Beasts and you have Flying Beasts. So I would draw an arrow from Beasts to Flying Beasts. The arrow shows that A leads to B.
You may also have two items that are directly related and might end up being listed sequentially, but one does not inherently lead to the other. Those I might link with a double ended arrow (or no arrows, just a line).
Meanwhile you have Flight as a general topic. Your Flying Beasts section should cross reference flight. So I would have a dotted line from one to the other.
Keep in mind, this schema is just a rough method I use generally when whiteboarding. If parts of the schema aren’t helpful or overcomplicated, then adjust to meet your need.
