You just need some way to interact with it as multiple graphs. Some variation of labeled edges is probably the best.


In your examples, would the edges be like:

tagged_with_italian_tag vs. tagged_with_spanish_tag ?

tagged_with_genus_tag vs. tagged_with_geo_tag ?

Would that afford such multiple graphs?


There are a bunch of ways to do it. You could use the Entity-Attribute-Value[0]. Then it's (California Quail, Region, California), (California Quail, Genus, Callipepla). You could do relational tables, with a through table for each taxonomy. Or, one through table with tags. That's like your comment.
