This is the problem with taxonomies. Now we are starting to create
structure. I know at least on diver who always tracks the body of
water. I
know another one who for reasons I cannot explain tracks the county.
I don't want to try to create a taxonomy that makes every one happy. I
don't want to have to think about the data structure below that. I
don't
want to think about the insanity of trying to import from different
data
formats.
How about a hierarchical dive site structure? Users that don't care
about any kind of structure, can just use a flat list. Users that prefer
some kind of taxonomy are free to create the one they like (e.g.
Country/State/Place, Country/Place, Water Body/Place, etc are all
possible).
As far as subsurface is concerned, there would still be no real
structure involved (except for the child/parent relationship of course).
The actual structure and how to use it, is entirely up to the user.
This idea is of course not mutually exclusive with tags!
