The bulk of Org-roam's functionality is built on top of vanilla Org-mode. However, to support additional functionality, Org-roam adds several Org-roam-specific keywords. These functionality are not crucial to effective use of Org-roam.
File Aliases
Suppose you want a note to be referred to by different names (e.g.
"World War 2", "WWII"). You may specify such aliases using the
#+ROAM_ALIAS attribute:
#+TITLE: World War 2
#+ROAM_ALIAS: "WWII" "World War II"
File Refs
Refs are unique identifiers for files. Each note can only have 1 ref. For example, a note for a website may contain a ref:
#+TITLE: Google
#+ROAM_KEY: https://www.google.com/
These keys come in useful for when taking website notes, using the
roam-ref protocol (see Roam Protocol).
Alternatively, add a ref for notes for a specific paper, using its org-ref citation key:
#+TITLE: Neural Ordinary Differential Equations
#+ROAM_KEY: cite:chen18_neural_ordin_differ_equat
In future, the backlinks buffer will also show notes with that citation key.
