- didgetmaster 4y ago>2.5 Schemas aren't neutral Nowhere is this more prominent than in traditional file systems where the folder hierarchy is often used as a kind of metadata tagging system. You take a picture while on vacation and copy it to your /pictures/2020/vacations/Hawaii/beach folder. But you could also copy it to your /2020/vacations/Hawaii/beach/pictures folder. Your pictures, documents, music, and source code gets spread out using whatever hierarchy seems right to you on the day you copied or created it. Heaven forbid you decide to change the folder structure using anything but symbolic links so it breaks any stored references (i.e. full path) to the file(s).
