Hey David and Elmar,

I am still a bit puzzled about the global category item,
can somebody give me an example of this?

And let me name some examples myself:

could this be a category?

Colors
Cars
Trees
Houses

Sounds maybe stupid.... But I am really clueless how I need to look at 
the whole global category item.
