It is by their own admission a primitive application of the semantic web, but where Harper's is heading is definitely in the right direction. Expore this item, and imagine it listing the contents not of one but of 100 selected publications. "The best way to think about this is as a remix: the taxonomy is an automated remix of the narrative content on the site, except instead of chopping up a ballad to turn it into house music, we’re turning narrative content into an annotated timeline. The content doesn’t change, just the way it’s presented." Can you say groovy? Yeah!
