share subcategories over several parent categories

  • I want to be able to share subcategories over several parent categories. I assume this is possible, because a category is just a tag, database wise. The advantage would be that I could either get out the data of all companies, organisations, or ordered per country.

    + Austria (cat)
|- Companies (subcat)
  + Bundesbahn is lacking rails (post)
|- Organisations (subcat)
  + Atomstopp is blocking the border again (post)
|- Governments (subcat)
  + austrian governments joins african union (post)
+ Belgium (cat)
|- Companies (subcat)
 + Electrabel stops nuclear (post)
|- Organisations (subcat)
 + Friends of the Earth exposes major weapon scam (post)
|- Governments (subcat)
 + Belgium government agrees to split country (post)
+Czech Repulbic (cat)
|- Companies (subcat)
 + Czech railway trouble (post)
|- Organisations (subcat)
 + Hnuti Duha description (post)
|- Governments (subcat)
 + Cech finance minister article (post)

  • A Category can only have ONE parent.

    Tags have no hierarchy, meaning a tag can’t have a parent or a child.

    But you might use tags because you can develop tag intersection queries.

    Allright then, is it then possible to produce overviews of [all the posts in the Czech category], [All industry tagged items] and [All industry tagged items in the Czech category]?
