What tag hierarchy and ontology should Linguistics use?
I was surprised with joy when I saw that Codidact allows tag hierarchies:
A tag can have one or more children, and when you search on a tag you can either search just that tag or also search its children. This gives communities another way to organize content.
This is extremely useful to properly categorize items: it is common in other communities that people tag with the specific concept, but then forget to add the general scope tag.
So what is the proposed ontology for the Languages & Linguistics site? I foresee a general set of tags for each language and then, eventually, specific tags for the rest.
But should we have general tags like grammar, pronunciation and so on? Should others like number be part of a bigger category, so we just have more general tags on the top level?
