Description
What if you could tag an object with another object. Instead of tagging objects with strings, which falls back on a full-text search, you could tag something with an actual representation?

      I was thinking it was some sort of ad hoc object hierarchy

      Isn't that the same as data linking?

      hopefully john's post is a sign of things to come with the user customizable types concept - and toward bernard and mills desire for using uri'd data structures to tag urls with things like a book classification standard set of metadata, along with ways to make different standards play nice with one another and line up on semantically common metadata.

      but for a another take on the subject see Clay Shirky's rant on Ontology is Overrated
      not that I agree with him, and I'm willing to imagine emergent ontologies and fluid object tagging as ways out of the all or nothing world clay seems to inhabit
