What's good with hierarchies?
When there is a 1:1 parent-child relationship it allows us to make decisions in multiple steps. Examples of this is dates, and tv-series:
If the hierarchy is correctly buildt, it can help us look for something we know what we’re looking for, but not where it is. It also helps us eliminate: I know it wasn’t in 2005 or 2007, and that leaves 2006.
When we know what we’re looking for, and where it is, hierarchies can be easy to remember. Especially if there is logic associations tied to the placement: the cheese fork is in my flat, in the kitchen, in the top drawer.

Hi, I met Timo at the Reboot conference in Copenahagen and he said you had some interesting work from your recent MA. We're attempting to do some of this TV categorisation with my start up TIOTI (http://tioti.com ). In the end we ditched attempts to create any kind of hierarchy, replacing categorisation with Tags - including season/episode structure too. Be interesting to hear what you think of that...
