Comment(by ohshima):

 The "structure" here was a view of tree structure based on tags.  What I
 was imagining was a bit more a flatter structure (current Journal) but
 with a quick full search that filters items (among other filtering).
 Under that assumption, "tags" can be on the same screen on the actual
 contents (just a part of the contents), rather than at completely
 separated screen that kids will easily forget to edit.  Then, having a
 separated view on an entry in the Journal (which is a bit obscure to get
 to, as you have to click on the name right next to the icon that takes you
 to the activity) wouldn't be necessary.

 Record should show tags and information in it.  (A UI principle that says
 something like:  "Out of Sight, Out of Mind".)  Tags in a different place
 isn't quite nice.

 Here is another idea for the same motivation on the purpose originally
 prposed in this ticket.  Having a persistent grouping of entries would be
 nice.  So, some drag-and-drop interface that you can collect a few entries
 from a list into a container and tag all entries in the container at once.
 That provides a virtual sub-directory but in a more direct way.
