When to use containers versus categories has me scratching my head (in the category module).
For example, in a site about plants, I need to categorise something like Family -> Genus -> Species - > Plant. Being more used to relational databases, in a db I would create 4 tables, each with a relationship to the next.
A Plant record is unique based on 4 fields: Genus, Species, Botanical Variety, and Cultivar. The last two fields are optional.
I'm not sure if I should create a container "Families" and add each (of thousands!) of families as categories within that container. Or, should each individual family also be a container for genea, rather than a category? It seems it could be done several ways, eg:
- family01 (category)
- genus01 (category)
- species01 (category)
- plant01 (story)
- plant02 (story)
- plant03 (story)
- species02 (category)
- plant04 (story)
- plant05 (story)
