Views: How? create a list of nodes sharing the same taxonomy term?

If I remember correctly, there's not yet support for relationships from terms attached to nodes. You could do it with using PHP argument handling, but it seems like a missing feature to me in the views taxonomy support. If I find an existing issue for this I''ll post back.

I know how to do in in classic taxonomy, but am not sure of the best way in views.
However, you SHOULD be able to deduce the appropriate tid to then use as an argument to views - because argument passing is going to be the direction to go.
Here's a starting point for that:

This is code that will take you from NID to TIDs
Not sure where the code will go for you...

John - there's a lot of work going on in taxonomy module for Drupal 7 - both to fix some of the underlying architecture issues and also to fix some of the UI issues for managing terms. I'm hoping this will make the taxonomy-related contrib modules in Drupal 7 both a lot lighter and easier to maintain, and in some cases unnecessary.

If you're using taxonomy even a little bit, then any help testing out those patches could make a big difference (and some of the fixes are going back to Drupal 6 - either to fix core bugs, or backports which are replicated in contrib modules). All the active issues are at http://drupal.org/project/issues?projects=3060&versions=156281&component... - as you can see, some patches are stuck at needs review for several weeks since we have a shortage of people testing and reviewing patches - both in core, and even more so in contrib.

Taxonomy should already be able to do those tasks with just the aid of core (or virtually core modules in View's case), that's it's purpose.

See, this is where we have a difference of opinion about what taxonomy's purpose is. It's really easy for human beings to envision all kinds of relationships -- we're wired to do that -- but computers need to be told very specifically what those relationships are. I suspect your frustration stems from the fact that something you find intuitive is just not intuitive to the computer, but this happens all the time.

IMO, what you're doing with taxonomy is well outside the bounds of what it was intended for, and you're crying foul when the toolsets don't really support it. That's pretty much unfair to everyone involved.

That said, the ability to create arbitrary relationships is something that can happen in Views 2, but it requires a module that lets you tell Views what htose relationships are. It would be very cumbersome if it just created them all for you (the list would be...long, and slow to generate) and it's not something I intend to put in Views itself but I do hope some enterprising contrib author will create it.

Primarily it's a way of categorizing data. While it's true that items with the same term do have a relationship, it is not a direct relationship. In general Drupal doesn't go "I have this node, give me other nodes with the same term", it goes "I have this term or term(s), give me nodes with these terms." There are taxonomy modules that do this -- 'related content', for example, usually picks up terms off a node and gives you other nodes that also share those terms, possibly weighting it such that more shared terms == more related. So people do add that kind of thing as a feature. But that isn't its original intent. This is why it tends to be possible to do what you ask, but not straight-up click a few buttons and it happens.

John Bryan -- either switch your system to use nodereferences, so albums, venues, etc point to the David Bowie node directly.
Or use theming to pull in the view of items with the same term: in a bio node's template, get the term, embed a view with PHP code and pass it that term as an argument. You could probably even pass a 2nd argument of the current node's nid to filter itself out.
