I've suggested something like this to the Zotero developers:

http://netapps.muohio.edu/blogs/darcusb/darcusb/archives/2006/09/09/ 
zotero-and-the-practical-semantic-web


But there you use other mechanisms for associating tags than uses  
having to worry about explicitly defining a hierarchy.


BTW, Zotero ought to be going public beta next week. I suggest people  
take a close look when it does.

Leonard Mada.

Your have raised some very interesting questions. I think the idea of 
setting 
a scheme for sharing subject specific key word lists is well worth 
considering - and rather simple to implement.

 Hi,

 I made some progress regarding the keywords. Unfortunately, I believe
 that a plain keyword list won't solve much of the current problems; see
 http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Bib-Keywords paragraph 2.2
 Limitations of Current Keyword Strategies for some reasons why basic
 keywords are far from adequate.

 I believe that a solution to this problem could lie in a hierarchical
 keyword tree. Users would be allowed to create dynamically such a
 keyword tree (using existing keywords) to enhance the capabilities of
 the search strategies. See the paragraph 3.1.2 Hierarchical Keyword
 Tree on the same page for a more extended discussion.

 Because all this is virtually new land, I would like to open a
 brainstorming session. I would appreciate any comments and suggestions.
