Comment:

 I agree with Nacin's initial list of UI options you may want to use.

 heirarchical. If it's one term it shouldn't be in another. The value
 'flat' would equate to the tag style taxonomy.

 I think you may want to have an exclusive hierarchical taxonomy. An
 example might be an employee > job title relationship where an employee
 can only be in one department, but job titles are hierarchical to denote
 structure within a company.
