I'm starting out on a similar Zettelkasten style database/wiki thing using org-roam and org-journal on Emacs. I find the entire concept fascinating and I'm surprised at how enthusiastic I am with this subject.
I'm still refining the workflows and discovering how it interacts with my own idiosyncrasies. The basic setup is:
1) Take daily notes in a hardback A4 sized square dotted journal. Mark shorter tasks/notes as completed when done.
2) Sweep "stuff that needs to be remembered" into org-journal daily entries, once or twice a day. Also add interesting web page links with a short description. And "nice to have" ideas, things like that.
3) Link from those daily notes to other planning or project org-mode notes using org-roam. Write quick outlines of documents.
4) At the beginning of the doc, those planning/project org docs have links to various single-subject docs. Those links are considered "tags" so a taxonomy is slowly being built up.
Org-roam shows you backlinks from docs, daily notes, etc, so you can begin to see what is connected. There's also a graphviz output you can generate to get a more graphical view of the links.
Things I'd like to be able to do, but haven't yet coded or learned the Lisp to do so:
1) Sync/Import bookmarks and their tags from Firefox. I've got a lot of bookmarks that I've tagged, it would be nice to be able to link those 2 sets of tags.
2) Figure out some sort of end-of-week-review process or multi-doc view. Something for me to look at all the stuff I added that week, and a way for me to push stuff into next week.
