How many topics/themes are ther= e? Wikipedia counts many million. Names of topic are very subjective. Topic= s are often mixed, split apart, refined, renamed, grouped in supertopics, = =E2=80=A6 In org it's easy to remodel hierarchical headers but it's not easy to rem= odel tags (much less, hierarchical tags). So rather than: ** some construction :plastics_engineering: I would have: Engineering.org: * Plastics * Houses * =E2=80=A6 I understand you use tags and =E2=80=9Etag search=E2=80=9C to be able to = look for bits of a particular topic in a file which is not related to the t= opic. It would be better to have a tag that in addition links to a particular t= ree. With that you'd have the freedom of tagging anything and the flexibili= ty of headers. Some brainstorming about how to link tags with headers: Two options: 1) There is a main tag in a header, and the other tags link to it (with C-c= C-o you navigate to the main tag). proj1.org: ** some construction :plastics_engineering: Engineering.org: :<<>>: * Plastics * Houses * =E2=80=A6 2) You use links and you ask for backlinks proj1.org: ** some construction [link to P] Engineering.org: * Plastics :ID: 1231212311122 * Houses * =E2=80=A6 And then=E2=80=A6 a key to *search for links to a header* (=E2=80=9Ebacklin= ks=E2=80=9C). Can org do this now?. E.g. you go to =E2=80=9EPlastics=E2=80=9C and you search =E2=80=9Eall the b= acklinks found in proj1.org=E2=80=9C. Then you have the generic knowledge a= nd in addition all the bits of specific knowledge about that topic. Maybe this is already possible=E2=80=A6 Whether it's useful, I don't know.
