I have a fixed classification comprising around 50 classes.
The classes are organized in a simple hierarchy (tree depth up

to put it differently: annotate the objects represented in
each line)?
I've been following this thread and Christian's valiant efforts
to suss out what you want. Let me see if I can describe what I
*think* you want. If it's accurate, perhaps my clarification can
help bring about a solution.
======[my understanding]=======
You have two files: one file (say "data.txt") containing lines
you want to classify by appending some classification found in
your second file (say "class.txt"). The contents of "class.txt"
may or may not be indented to visually show the hierarchy, but
all you really care about is that the whitespace-stripped
period-separated line from "class.txt" is picked by the user and
appended to the line in "data.txt"
You then want to be able to go through data.txt line-by-line and
pick the classification from class.txt with minimal effort[*],
appending that classification to the line in question.
[*] for some definition of "minimal effort", though I'd suggest
regular completion or omni-completion
=====[end of my interpretation]======
Is that understanding correct? My first thought would be to
simply ensure that all characters in your classification file are
in your 'iskeyword' setting (from your description, this would
involve adding the period-character to 'isk'). Then with both
files open, you could just type the first few characters of the
classification and then use control+P/control+N to select an
appropriate match. Alternatively, you could write a more complex
omni-completion function that would allow you to find any
sub-portion of your classification. You can read about that at
:help new-omni-completion
If my understanding is wrong, please let me know where I
misunderstood; and if it's correct, let the list know so that
they (particularly Christian who seems to be exerting exceptional
effort to assist) can proffer their thoughts too.
