I'm looking for some advice as to what module(s) may exist that could produce the following functionality for Drupal 5.x.
I need to create an organization (or categorization, like with tags) system for files. Specifically, I would be dealing exclusively with pdf files that are Real Estate reports. For instance, a single pdf file should belong to X address, Y type of report, and Z year. I want to do this so that users can browse these files by address, type of report, or by year. So, I'm looking for a system that essentially lets me "tag" files with multiple category names, so they can be located by each tag.
I've seen hundreds of open source applications that do this type of thing for mp3's, movies, etc, but nothing for report type files (or that is flexible enough to modify for use with report files).
Does anything like this exist? Or would it be possible to come close to this type of functionality using existing Drupal modules.
I appreciate any suggestions in advance!

Taxonomy and DiskNode
Ok, I've figured out that I can use vocabularies to assign tags using the Taxonomy module and use files as nodes using the DiskNode module. I've played around with the views module, and Content Taxonomy views, to see if I could create a search using the taxonomy terms (grouped by vocabulary). I haven't been able to figure it out. I'm looking to create a form like this: http://www.lullabot.com/files/viewsexposed.png, so the user can select the first variable, then the second, then the third, and click search. Alternatively, a drill-down would also work.
Can anyone help me?

The example is an image of exposed views filters. Create a view, filter for disk node type, filter for node published, filter for "Taxonomy: Terms for [...]" for each of your three categories and "expose" these last three filters. That should do what you want to accomplish. For more information on filtering in views, see http://drupal.org/node/54457
