, 16:27, 16 February 2016→Creating a hierarchical structure of folders and sub folders
#We can create in the operating system folder, and name it as we want. Each folder can be a 'space' where we can store 'files' of a particular kind
#We can create in the operating system folder, and name it as we want. Each folder can be a 'space' where we can store 'files' of a particular kind
#We can also create a sub folder within each folder, in case we want to have sub categories of folders in which we want to store files
#We can also create a sub folder within each folder, in case we want to have sub categories of folders in which we want to store files
#
#By creating folders and sub folders we can create a entire network of folders, where each folder has specific files relating to that sub folder name. In this way we can create a simple personal digital library in our computer
#The limitation of this structure is that it is 'hierarchical', meaning in any folder, I can only access sub-folders for that folder but not folders which are outside of this folder. The alternative way of storing information is through 'hyperlinks' which is the way information is available on the Internet (including on KOER). Here we can access information through hyperlinks. In this case, we can use 'search' of text or through indexes such as categories and tag words to access information we want.
