Different ways to structure data

Hi @Ramses. I wrote a hopefully simple to understand introduction on why we need a way to organize pages differently than by just namespaces: Knowledge Management for Tags / Tag Hierarchies

This request is not about enforcing “strict” hierarchies in the graph (in the sense of being forced into a folder structure).

It is about organizing a huge graph by adding relationships between pages.
This would enable many additional ways to locate a page, e.g. faceted searches and hierarchical browsing that is used e.g. on Amazon’s website or in a library catalogue.

This request fits very naturally into Logseq’s data model with some small extensions to the search, as suggested in @alex0’s feuture request he mentioned above: Specify and display relations between pages/tags

It would be great to get feedback on these requests, as some of us consider them to be absolutely essential to organize larger graphs. Currently the “best” practice recommended to deal with e.g. Zotero imports is to just delete nodes to simplify the graph. That can’t be the intended use.
