Hierarchy of categories for topics

Documentation

Categories are a kind of predefined "backgone" to organized content and facilitate navigation. Categories can be used for very different purposes. To effectively use categories you have to understand the difference to tags as they are available for TaggedTopics. So while tags are a kind of "keywords" that connect content in a per-to-per fashion, categories are a predefined hierarchy where content is situated in separate compartments.

Categories themselves are CategorizedTopics thus implementing a hierarchy.
