        My opinion is that using ``faceted classification'' (e. g., [1])
        for categorising software in general and Chicken eggs in
        particular really makes sense.

        Rather than trying to design a set of facets from scratch, I
        would probably consider adopting a (subset of) Debtags [2]
        facets.  This would lead to an additional benefit of having the
        tags just in the right place would the eggs be available as
        pre-compiled Debian packages.
