   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]?
