Slip

A slip consists of:

  1. the text,
  2. the keywords,
  3. the source,
  4. the type of the source.
The keywords are used for searching the box, so put some thought into how to describe a slip, but don't deliberately create a keyword ontology (you can, but it goes against the fundamental idea of slip-boxes). The source field describes the source of the information and the type field the type of the source. Both make it easier to go back to the source of the information. Relations between slips in one box are established via information scents.
