Well, in order to keep track of notes it is necessary to combine the notes with the sources. Now the research database has two tables:

1. One for collecting sources.
2. Notes to the sources. The tables are connected by a foreign key.

The database is basicly a research tool. So I save the data on a localhost and use Adminer as GUI. Adminer is really a “functionalistic” KISS production. What you really need is there.

It’s a very simple database. Later on I can export the tables and use the data online – that is: if I want to do so.

I’m reading some final reports by multimedia design students. The reports focus on communication, theme development and concepts like REST-API and SEO.

Sprint 2

The next 14 day sprint marks the beginning of the literature review. The research project description is finished. Now I’ll begin to pile up cases, books and other sources. In order to keep track I have designed a database. Since it is a very small database I did not care to normalize the table. I guess I’ll have to add a timestamp. Then it’s ok.
