No, I actually wasn't referring to the tags column, but a hierarchical genre structure such as described in the help files. For instance, a book with genre: Fiction.Historical or Academic.Arts.Painting or just "Sports". The hierarchical categorization can have multiple uses, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that genre classification is the most prevalent.
