We've talked about hierarchy (so your question is spot-on); I wonder if this can be embedded in the tags as a method to include some structure. Falk?
Use cases would be selecting climate scenarios (future vs present) and then the type of variable (temp vs. percip, for example) or maybe comparing between sources (NASA NEX vs Worldclim (or whatever other sources we have)).

Do you have any plans to add hierarchy to the rasters?
Here's an example:

We will change that:
1) data sources that are distinguished only by date will appear as only one entry in the future 2) we have to add more data
Hope to get this done in the next two weeks probably not faster.
