+1. These are really two different aspects, because the tagging has the aim
to give a short, detailed, precise, specific description of something (and
so allows distinction from something different). Rendering instead tries to
show what might be interesting for a given context (i.e. it will be a
selection and generalization of all the information contained in the db).
There is only one tagging/mapping db, but there are infinite rendering dbs.
