 * I’ve read the codex documentation on taxonomy, yet I can’t manage to deploy wordpress
   with multiple categories.
 * For instance, and to continue with the main concept of the whole taxonomy concept,
   let’s say your average dog has the following taxonomy (Wikipedia):
 * Domain: Eukaryota
    Kingdom: Animalia Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family:
   Canidae
 * Needless to say, not every Eukaryota is a canidae and you don’t certainly have
   to be a mammal in order to be a carnivore.
 * How can you deploy a dependent/independent taxonomy?
 * – For instance, if you enter a new species into this taxonomy, you should select
   a Kingdom first. But of course, a species can’t just simply belong to a kingdom.
   Further specifications should be required until the tree reaches its end (in 
   the above exameple: ‘Family’).
 * – Term dependency (on other vocabularies). Once you select ‘Kingdom: Animalia’,
   you shouldn’t be able to select any class, order, or family belonging to ‘Kingdom:
   Plantae’.
 * Another good example could be this ‘weather taxonomy’:
    Cloudy: yes/no Raining:
   yes/no If you select ‘cloudy: no’ the automatic value for raining should be ‘
   no’. However, with cloudy set to ‘yes’, the raining choice opens.
 * Best,
    Juan

 * Anyone? I’m also interested in creating an independent classification system 
   aparte from the default Category and Tag systems.
 * I think this is a good idea for a plugin. Too bad I can’t programme though… :
