An example of non-hierarchical categorization is the keyword-categorization method used by Wikis. See http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?CategoryCategory for an example. If a graph could be in multiple categories (3d, social science, color, publication ready/published) it could be identified with multiple keywords and dynamically listed in each of the sub-galleries.
