Another useful slot would be :purpose, it could specify what the library is:
web server, db client, image processing library, data-structures library, etc.

The values in this slots are tags from some specified taxonomy. To avoid 
creating the taxonomy
from scratch we could start for example with the tag tree from cl-user.net.

In in the future we could want to improve the taxonomy. If the new improved 
taxonomy
is incompatible with the old one, we can  then introduce new slot, :purpose2,
specifying that it can hold values from new taxonomy.

I think this is an idea for future, it's probably too big to be in the scope of 
ASDF3
