"trunk", "tags" and nested tags
Hi,
When I understand it right, the default repository structure is like
repository
+ project1
| + tags
| | + tag1
| | + project-data
...
| | + tagN
| | + project-data
| + trunk
| + project-data
+ project2
...
This shows a flat tag (branch) structure. But what is the "official" way
to store nested tags, e.g., tags within branches?

There is no "default repository structure" or "official" way. There's
no reason from a pure SVN point of view that each branch can't have a
"tags" subdir. Some add-on tools or hook-scripts might make assumptions
about repo layouts, of course.
I personally don't differentiate tags from branches vs. tags from trunk,
except possibly by name. I find the convenience of being able to find
all the tags in one place outweighs other considerations. YMMV.

Of course, you can do it a thousand ways. But the standard way is that tags
copied from branches are stored in /projectN/tags like any other tag.
However, it might be more mnemonic if the name of the tag started with the
name of the branch. E.g., "svn cp /projectN/branches/branchI
/projectN/tags/branchI-tag1".
