Thanks very much for your advice Irene. My feeling is that non-technical SMEs favour to work on flat vocab/term lists in glossary and introducing even a simple taxonomy and minimal skos concepts weeds out many people, placing the job of hierarchical taxonomy development more with technical users and a knowledge architect to bring it together. This use case was what was driving me to be able to easily work with non-tech users in a glossary but then pull it into more structured assets over time with maximum re-use out of the box. Your simple suggestions help me do that.
