Ziya's entirely correct, the technical aspects of wiring a DB to do
this is trivial. I've done it twice: once for a thesaurus (a taxonomy
on steriods) and once for a mapping of multiple taxonomies (ten lower
taxonomies mapped to a single upper). It's really pretty straight
forward. You can do a thesaurus with two fully rationalized tables:
terms and relationships. You can add a couple more tables for change
management and logging data, if you want to get really fancy.

Can we end the flame war now?
