"As an example, in Dave's taxonomy you can find:
- Politics
-- Presidential Election of 2004
--- Dean Campaign
--- Clark Campaign
--- ...
If Howard Dean would have his own taxonomy, it might contain something like:
- Howard
-- Presidential Election of 2004
--- Politics
--- Budget
--- Ideas
--- ...
Same topics, different nesting according to the different points of view."
Wrong. Same terms, different topics (although you could come up with some level of cross mapping that might work for you). Dean's topic "Presidential Election of 2004" is not the same as Winer's topic "Presidential Election of 2004", although they use the same term. Dean's "Presidential Election of 2004" is probably somewhat similar to Winer's "Dean Campaign" topic.
