I fully agree with this statement, it would be great in fact to use (or
even built) a specific one for darktable (as a module). It's more a
ontology that we need, a semantic tagging.
Having proper tags is a king of knowledge added to photos which is
extremelly valuable during edition of a set.
For the moment, as the tag list is flat but at least darktable recognise a
structure with "|", I somehow built a set of typed tags
Each photo is tagged with several dimension (camera, type of film, place,
event, format, photography project, people, etc...)
My tags look like that (for example)
camera|zeiss_ikon
film|kodak|trix
lens|leica_summicron_35_f2
place|china|jiangsu|suzhou
format|portrait
people|
I guess a kind of standard can be defined for photography (it might exist
already)
