Honestly, I can't help but think that you are trying to use the taxonomy system for something beyond what it was meant for and that you should be considering post meta or a custom post type.

Or, you should be using multiple taxonomines-- one for directory, one for the director's nationality, etc.

It is hard toI would say more without more detail about your projectto use the multiple taxonomies, but that's what I've got for nowor create your own table to hold the taxonomy meta. I worry about performance though. The taxonomy queries are complicated.
