Ontology/taxonomy/classification are seriously difficult things. If not semantic web would have ruled the world by now.
Structural hierarchies (chapter/section etc) may be easy to get for everyone but a navigation side panel would work too. If you build a semantic hierarchy, new users may not know how to find things; yet repeat users may be frustrated by having to go through the layers to access the items they are looking for.
- adriano_f 13y agoTrue, hierarchy is not a panacea. But I argue that it's better for new comers to have context & overview, and hierarchy helps with that.
