Wasn't this the intent behind Windows Vista - a tag-based DB-as-filesystem with hierarchical paths just one "lens" through which to view the DB? I use Google Drive this way, largely through search rather than directory-based organization, though I do also employ that for often-used collections.

It's the entire point of MS SharePoint afaict: create a tag based FS on top of some SQL database.

ok well if its the entire point of sharepoint I can conclude that tags suck and go read something else because, well, sharepoint.
