[Peerpress-main] Taxonomy hierarchy nearly done.

[Joakim Ziegler]

I've written up a taxonomy scheme that I'm suggesting for use in Peer
Press. This scheme is getting rather large, and isn't yet quite finished,=
 but
it's close enough that I think it's reasonable to post to the list for re=
view.

There are three hierarchies here: Category, Topic, and Geography. The cat=
egory
hierarchy is small and shallow, and is used mainly for the type of conten=
t. The
topic hierarchy is huge, deep, and not entirely complete yet. This is
particularly where I'd like people to point out glaring omissions. The
geographical hierarchy is largish, and complete down to the level of indi=
vidual
countries. The soruces are many, but I owe in particular large thanks to
dmoz.org, where I was able to collect a lot of information (most of it ha=
s been
reorganized a bit since then, though).


Example usage:

(An article about a techno music festival in Norway)

<taxonomy>
category:news report
topic:news
topic:arts/music/events/festivals
topic:arts/music/genres/electronic and dance
geo:earth/europe/no
</taxonomy>

(An excerpt from a new Bret Easton Ellis novel)

<taxonomy>
category:excerpt
category:fiction
topic:arts/literature/genres/fiction
</taxonomy>


And so on. The number of taxonomy lines used to define a given peer press=
 story
is not really limited in any way, but my tests show that it should normal=
ly be
between 3 and 6 lines, and only very rarely does it use fewer than 2 or m=
ore
than 8.

So, here are the hierarchies, for your review, feedback, additions, and
hopefully final approval.
