I'd like to know if its possible for two or more vocabularies to share the same set of terms with their hierachy. For example, I have the following vocabularies: vol. 01, vol. 02, vol. 03, ...., vol n
The structure of all vocabularies would be as follows:
-Home
--Editorial & Opinion
-News
--Local
---Metro
---Provincial
--International
-Sports
--Basketball
---Collegiate
---FIBA
---Professional
--Boxing
---Amateur
----Golden Gloves
----Olympic
Instead of creating the terms with their hierarchy for each vocabulary, it would help me a lot if there is a way to define terms and apply to each vocabulary. If there is a much better approach, I would appreciate it if anybody could share it in this post.
Thanks, Jun D!

Hi Jun,
I would recommend using instead two separate vocabularies but can accept multi-tagging.
Then just let the categories accept multiple values so you can cross-tag them :)

I've tried this before but I got a different result. Tried to create to vocabs cat and dog, then used multiple tagging for both. When I created contents for each and tag each with
big, they had a different taxonomy path. pathauto generated url like this:category/dog/bigandcategory/cat/bigand had different paths. when i tried to list all nodes underbigusing views, it was eithercat/bignodes ordog/bignodes but not allbignodes. I do not know where I made the mistake.collectivetech.org

You don't have to create two
You don't have to create two "big" category for each vocabulary. Each vocabulary should have different set of terms.
Example:
Vocabulary Animals
- Cat
- Dog
- Goat
Vocabulary Size
- Small
- Medium
- Large
Now when you create a content, you can tag it by "Cat" and "Large". Another one with "Dog" and "Small". Use views to display your list. You can filter it by "Medium" to display all "Medium" nodes regardless of what animal tag.
Hope this help :)
Your recommendation might
Your recommendation might work with fix terms where users will just pick the appropriate term/category/vocabulary but what about my example wherein I was using free tagging?
I'm still trying to get a grip on having multiple content types (e.g. cat type and dog type using cck) with each content type having a separate vocabulary (e.g. cat vocab for cat type and dog vocab for dog type) while at the same time allowing free tagging for user submitted content (e.g. cat type with cat vocab with big tag and dog type with dog vocab with big tag)
the result I got was what I was explaining above. I'm hinting something is wrong with how I arrange things and the relations between content types with specific vocabs is all messed-up.

How can I get all medium of cat for example, by using this technique?
Free tagging problems
Hi Jun,
In general, avoid free tagging as a way to formally label content. You must at least use formal tagging (ie, your organization tags it the way your org wants it) and then you can let users do their own free tagging. There's a long discourse on knowledge management on why org-based or authoritative tagging and community- or user-based tagging are BOTH important, but no time for that here. We can discuss in the next Drupal meet up :)

Thanks for the help
Hello all:
As suggested, I created two vocabularies: volume and topics. The volume contains volume issue number as the items while topics contains topic categories as the items. For each article, I just assigned the volume issue number and the topic category (e.g. Sincerity article is assigned volume one, editorial).
I still have a long way to go before I can fully master Drupal, but as they say, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step....
Thanks, Jun D!
