This is why SCOTTY will offer different ways to relate items with terms and
other items.
If a category tree doesn't fit your needs, you might want to try tagging
instead or even go for a complex ontology.
In any case it will be about relations between terms and/or items.

I didn't say it will be easy - but I am very confident that it can be done.

Yes we can ;-)
