Zettelkasten Graphs and Usage
My Zettelkasten is full of maps. I use them in various ways. Some of them are part of my Permanent and some are part of my Structure Notes. Today, I tried to bring some order to my visual structures.

Taxonomy Graph
Ontology Graph
Knowledge Graph
Context Graph
Procedural Graph
Do you use any of these visual structures? Or a textual equivalent?

These types of graph (or some variant of them) have been important for me at some stage of my work.
You call the knowledge graph "complete, and therefore a haystack", but it could also be a local graph, constructed either automatically or manually. As an Obsidian user, do you ever use a local graph view, limiting the depth of links so that the graph is not of the whole vault, and so not a haystack?
You use a based-on link between these types of graph, but I assume this has a vague meaning, because I don't see how all these types of graphs are all based on another type of graph in exactly the same way.
