A “Category” is described as a class or collection of entities regarded as having common traits and/or characteristics. Within a given class or collection of entities, certain traits and/or characteristics may be regarded as being shared by a smaller subset - i.e., a “Sub-Category.” Thus, categorization naturally supports a hierarchical structure.

The “Category” container type serves to provide a means of working with “Assets” that share characteristics without the encumbrances imposed by moving the actual files they represent on disk - moving or renaming files on disk breaks the correlation between the file and the “Asset” that represents it.
