How so? Unless you can tag tags, you can't represent a tree with them. If you can tag tags, you get an arbitrary graph, with all the problems that represents.

I don't think I've seen tagging systems that let me tag tags out in the wild.
- zaphar 11y agoYou can create a DAG from Tagged objects if you use Set operations. The set of things with tag A includes things from other sets. Those sets form the next level in the hierarchy. The tagged objects define the relationships between differing tags which allows you to define that arbitrary graph. The graph can be viewed as an effectively infinite depth tree if you wish to.
- DougWebb 11y agoThe 'path' in the tree can be represented as a tag. It's a simplistic way to go, but you can get pretty far with it to emulate a folder structure using tags.
