Reduce taxonomy footprint #172

Currently (version 1.1) plist-files are used to encode the taxonomies. This results in large files. This can be reduced by using a more lightweight filestructure and pruning.

filestructure - a plist has a lot of overhead for the tags, json might be a better approach.
pruning - there is much data that is not used, it should be deleted.

In the longer run, I would like to see the taxonomies of OFF, published a jsons. Then I no longer have to incorporate them into my app.

This has been solved on the server side.
