I was thinking that stating a hierarchy isn't required. One can be automatically generated from a list of tags at the same level. This is somewhat reminiscent of Epiphany's bookmark handling, where you give your bookmarks tags and it generates a hierarchy based on them. [0] For instance, something could be is_in = East Dunbartonshire, Scotland, UK and another one could be Fife, Scotland, UK. From this, we can infer that there are 2 high level places (Scotland and UK) and 2 low level places (East Dunbartonshire and Fife).
