Which has two good points.  It is more likely that you will see a simple
list of keywords (publishers, cities, title words, whatever), rather than a
complex structure, in a near-future version of EndNote.

However, we are interested in some creative brainstorming for the long term,
and I think the option to use existing thesaurus heirarchies is really
clever.  So keep thinking creatively, and we'll keep listening!
