I primarily use folders and the dataview plugin [1] for 1). E.g. when I am managing a course, I have a structure like so:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5mbcuu2pyy7eb3o/folder-structure.p...

I usually have a top-level note for a course, here the "Computational Surgineering.md". In there, I use the dataview plugin to simply create a dynamic table of all entries in the meetings subfolder:

Another option I use is nested tags[2], like #cs/meeting for the above use-case.

As for 2) I don't really use the global graph that much. It looks quite cool, but I primarily just look at a local graph with a maximum depth of 2-3 to quickly hop around.

Edit: Formatting is horrible on HN. I posted screenshots instead.

I guess what I was wondering is, do we have any tools that help extract a hierarchical structure from the inputted information. Rather than having the user specify the hierarchical structure.
