The discussion by Kathleen, Bernard, Jack Park, and others,
especially Kathleen regarding Dressage and Three-day Eventing, sounds
like mostly a hierarchical structure in the list-making
classifications. That seems mostly a vertical structure.
Might it help to create a tagging mechanism to indicate some sort of
lateral evolution?
For example, graphically, in several programs one can drag and
establish relationship lines, even label them, between multimedia
objects. (e.g. Correlate, MindMapper, and others you might have
already discussed.)
Where some subjects cannot be classified into a list format then
perhaps use of the lateral location can indicate that there is a
topic that is related, but the classifying editors do not know where.
Or perhaps the topic might fit in several places, and that outboard
location is spatially in the center of them. i.e. "Dressage" located
in outboard position from the horse events, but not "trick riding"
category offensive to the riders.
The outboard location's relative position as centered with respect to
other topics might be problematic as to what other classifications it
should be related to. But to the extent the editors/classifiers
can "look it up" in the dictionary or thesaurus (online?) they should
be able to make a determination.
The editor for "Equine" or "Sporting Events" should know enough
about "Three-Day Eventing" to incorporate cross--country, jumping and
dressage, the 3 events for those 3 days, and cross-link to those
events. (If outboard lateral position is used.)
Of course, most of that is in a 2-D plane. One could also use an xyz
axis eventually, to show 3-D relative locations in space. (See
