I think, to make things future-proof, we need a flexible metadata part, much like the bookmetadata part, where metadata key/value pairs can be added, rather than a set number of fields which accommodate for the current distinctions (category and version).



The approach I use here for our documentation system is to have a multi-valued field that any user can use to tag a document. I also have a set of collections that are the "official" classifications.


Right, but then you have a predefined selection list with available values for the field.

Not quite. You have a predefined selection list for the managed collections, but a free form multivalued field for the tags. Best of both worlds, users get free form tagging, editors get close control over the structure of the document set.
