Apparently, the convention (at least starting from 2018) is to make the keywords and block names to be in lowercase as stated from one of the following discussions at https://orgmode.org/list/87tuuw3n15.fsf@nicolasgoaziou.fr/. The files was updated with a one liner of shell. However, this is Emacs and org-mode does have an API to let you do stuff in your config and interact with the documents internally so it is not an elegant solution in any way.

Roam Research is a newly developing tool created by Conor White-Sullivan that focuses on creating a graph of notes instead of the traditional hierarchical system of most note-taking systems.
|
|
It is largely inspired from the Zettelkasten method with the emphasis for bidirectional linking.
|
|
|
|
It sports the following features:
|
|
|
|
- Backlinking of notes which are then used for creating a graph of related topics.
|
|
- A quick capture system for mobile experience (though it's not complete).
|
|
- A daily notes system, making this viable as a journal as well.
|
|
|
|
As such, Roam is a solid [[file:2020-04-15-14-35-55.org][Note-taking]] system that easily integrates as a [[file:2020-04-23-23-21-47.org][Personal information management]] system.
|
|
With the Zettelkasten-inspired system, you can use it to easily [[file:2020-06-04-21-32-23.org][Create evergreen notes with a digital garden]].
|
|
[fn:: Well, it is a glorified wiki with the focus for backlinks and knowledge graph.]
|
|
|
|
Roam is gaining popularity and more are considering to use it.
|
|
However, it is closed source and (thankfully) open source alternatives like [[https://github.com/jethrokuan/org-roam][Org-roam]], [[https://github.com/andjar/dokuroam/][Dokuroam]], and [[https://github.com/athensresearch/athens][Athens]] started to fill our Roam-voided hearts.

For seeing how Roam works, you can see the following videos by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvWic15iXjk][Nat Eliason on using Roam to quickly outline an article]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxOffM_tVHI][Thomas Frank covering the feature set of Roam]].
