This example extends example 1 according to the file system. Let's say
I'am going to have a lot of pictures in my file system, and I would
like to keep track on who have taken the pictures, and the names of
the people on the pictures. Again I have 3 pictures, and I have taken
the first 2 pictures, my sister have taken the last pictures. The
people on the first picture is my mom Ingrid, the next is a picture of
my sister Linda and the last picture is a picture of me Allan. I'am
going to provide the three pictures with the following metadata:
{Allan, Ingrid}, {Allan, Linda}, {Linda, Allan}. As you
can see in this example, there is no way of telling who is the
photographer and who are the people on the picture. Of course you could
change the tags to something like photographer:Allan and
people_on_picture:Ingrid but this would be a convention
which the user will have to maintain.
