Hierarchies work well only in very rare cases where the appropriate structure for the hierarchy is blindingly obvious to everyone.
In other words, almost never. Companies are forever reorganizing their hierarchical reporting structure. The locations of things in the Unix file system change across Unix flavors, releases, time, and individual installations. Software organizations tend to reorganize their source base every so often. Attempts to organize the web (and earlier, all human knowledge) in a hierarchical fashion have all failed spectacularly. Unstructured search was the clear winner. Very few people can organize their files and email well enough to remember where they put everything. That's why search functions are becoming absolutely crucial in the modern era of large disks. Perhaps a rigid set of named keywords is not the best way to tag the database, but I'm pretty sure that using hierarchy as the organizing principle is not the way to go. ------------------------ Yahoo!
