<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Just my point of view: I have been
using a software which did not handle tag hierarchy for more than
10 years. The list of tags was quite large, finding a tag was
difficult because they were only sorted in alphabetical order. I
tried to (kind of) implement hierarchy by adding separate tags,
for example adding France and Paris tags to a picture of
Montmartre. <br>
<br>
When I switched to DigiKam, I immediately started to use the
hierarchy. The total number of tags is still as large, obviously,
but now it is much easier to find one tag. Because of how DigiKam
implements the hierarchy, I don't need those "intermediate" tags
any more, and I started removing them from the pictures. Now, the
previous picture would have only one
"Lieux/France/Paris/Montmartre" tag, but I'd still be able to
retrieve the image by selecting the France or Paris tags in the
hierarchy.<br>
<br>
One other advantage is that you can have several tags with the
same name but in different places in the hierarchy, of course.
This allows to use the the same name but for different meanings.
This situation should be avoided IMO, but sometimes it is
difficult to find another fitting word.<br>
<br>
The only part which could be better is that there is no standard
way to implement tags hierarchy. DigiKam's way of doing it is used
by quite a few other software, but there are others which could be
unable to understand it. This is not DigiKam's fault, of course.<br>

What would you recommend:
<br>
<br>
just the keyword or the the keyword hierarchy?
<br>
<br>
Thanks
