Keywording Hierarchial System Advice

[Potus5]

I've have not been using to date a hierarchial "grandparent > parent > child" keywording system but rather employed a series of discret typed in individual words separated with commas in the right hand 'Keywording' panel. With over 6000 photos now into my LR library I realized now that I had better put some order into the keywording.

My question is - has anyone developed a generic keywording hierarchy system for LR or does anyone have advice - what hierarchy approach do you use. I tend to shoot quite a varied set of scenes - wildlife, landscape, flowers, people, urban, architecture, abstracts, tourist type, etc., etc, etc., and from around the world so I need a system that distinquishes places, subjects, ideas/concepts, etc.

I've read Martin Evening's LR book on the subject of keywording but didn't find it all that useful in terms of actually designing a hierarchial system. Are there any keyword strcuture programs out there that one can import into LR?

Appreciate any and all advice.

http://www.controlledvocabulary.com/ sells a keyword hierarchy that can be imported in various softwares, including LR. Personally, I preferred to build my own image categories, taking into account the areas of particular strengths in my stock base.

Thanks - looks like a logical yet simple approach which would likely work for me.

Appreciate the information.
