A file system has two roles: It has to specify how to write files to a medium, and it has to define how a user can access files.
Most file systems focus on the first role and adopt the standard directory tree approach for the second role.
It is of course necessary to solve the challenges of medium access, but we should not neglect the user's perspective.
-As a user, I mostly care about how how conveniently I can organize my data, and quickly I can access relevant information.
+As a user, I mostly care about how conveniently I can organize my data, and quickly I can access relevant information.
The hierarchical approach is rather restrictive in this regard:
You can only organize files in a directory tree [#f1]_, and search tasks often require third-party tools like `find`_ or `locate`_.
Tagging file systems proposed an alternative file organization model.
-Instead of a placing files in directories, they assign one or more (user-defined) tags to each file.

This increases the flexibility over a hierarchical data model,
because you can group any combination of files, and each file can be a part of various groups.
Semantic file systems push this idea one step further by trying to understand
