Semantic file systems are very much not tree-shaped. The idea of a semantic file system is that files don’t have a single parent or container, like a folder in a traditional hierarchical file system, and instead a file’s location is represented by a combination of tags. As expected, you don’t traverse a path to reach a file, but rather, you perform a query not unlike operators in a search engine.
