OK, if we're going to have categories (which

of), I'd like to point out that IMHO it should be a separate table in
the database for these, at least for the links. Look at the mess we
(I;-) made with the language links.
I imagine the following tables
# "categories" : cat_name, cat_id
# "cat_structure" : cat_parent_id, cat_child_id
# "art_in_cat" : article_id, category_id
I don't think such categorization would do any good.
It's too ambiguous.
I'm rather for categorizing what thing is,
not what area of knowledge it is from:
Person
Event
Software
Book
Year
Day of year
Math theorem
Math structure
...
(planetMath also uses such categorization iirc)
