[daisy] advice on tagging and Categories.

Hi,

I am working on a new Daisy project
and have a question about tagging and Categories.

I see in the daisy scratchpad how a field like
$DaisyCommWikiCategory is used in the navigation 
document query.

I am looking for something similar, but more like tagging.
By tagging I mean multiple attributes such as;

Attributes:
White-Paper, Meeting-Planner, Tutorial, News.
Math, Science, Automobiles.

DocA - Science, White-Paper
DocB - Math, White-Paper
DocC - News
DocD - Science, News

I think I found a way to do this, I created a multi-value field
called Tag with this set of values.  Then I made a New Document
just like SimpleDocument but with the Tag field and I called it
BasicDocument.  Why am I doing this:

Now I can do a query for these 'tags' for navigation 
or query includes.

I could also use these tags in a faceted browser? I hope.

Or for a 'similar docs' list based on a custom publisher?

I am also thinking if I want this kind of tagging on attachments
I would make a new attachment document type with this new Tag 
field.

WDYT?

Thanks, Chris.

p.s. The documentation was very good.  I recently installed Daisy 1.5.1
on Ubuntu 6 and had no trouble.  There were a few steps but easy
to follow.
