I hope, this is one of my last "basic question". :-[
Please see my attachement.
If I have a thesaurus with some hierarchical keywords; I wonder, can I do, like I have in mind, or is this "forbidden" or make no sense?!
I have a line like
09 Arbeit | Agrar | Tierhaltung | Bauer
Is it now legitimate to use only a fraction of this hierarchical line in the thesaurus?
1) If I check the last leaf (Bauer), the I get the line
09 Arbeit|Agrar|Tierhaltung|Bauer
what is fully correct.
Also the flatening does a right job, it ends correct as
Agrar;Tierhaltung;Bauer (I have excluded the first level)
2) If I want not have the word "Bauer" in my line, I can check not the last leaf, but at the word "Tierhaltung". This gives me the line:
09 Arbeit|Agrar|Tierhaltung (without "Bauer")
This is also fully correct.
Also the flatening does a right job:
Agrar;Tierhaltung
So all looks fine and correct for me.
My question is simply to be sure:
Is it legitime, to use a hierarchical system and not always check the last item, but one (or two) before.
Background:
If this is ok to do, I can avoid to use to many hierarchical lines. In this case, instead build a line with all professions (Bauer), I can put professions at the end of a sector. If there is a typical image as a profession, I would check the last leaf (Bauer), if not, I would check the second last item.
Last remark: Building a clever thesaurus can avoid a lot of time-consuming work, I think.

Sure, why not.
You may assign
WHAT|food|vegetables|onion to your files, or just
WHAT|food. IMatch does not care. Whatever you pick will be added as a keyword.

Thanks, Mario,
I thought so, but your post gives me much more security than my unsure feeling. ;D Thanks!
