Sönke Ahrens writes about this similarity in his book "How to take smart notes". A linked notes system is indeed very similar to a wikipedia. The difference lies in the usage. In a personal system, there's a bit more "wiki" and not that much "pedia". Encyclopedic classification of content is not the aim of a linked notes system. The notes should be collected and connected based on your interests, aims, and whims.
