Very interesting.
The system she is building is pretty neat.
I have attempted a similar system before. The issue is: this long process of moving ideas from pdf files to Tinderbox structures takes a lot of time…specially she has
a) to read the pdf, b) annotate it, c) take the note on paper, and d) copy the note from the papper to Tinderbox, and then structure the ideas there. This is a long and hectic process.

That is one of the reasons why I was gravitated towards QDA softwares. They can do amost everything she is trying to accomplish: from reading, taking notes, tagging (metadata/coding), to writing notes (zetel), to the graphic repesentation of the concepts (concept map), everything in the same place.
