In addition to "Categories" our CMS (eZ pub, which is customizable)
had a feature called "Topic". When I asked the developer what we
might use that for, he said, "well, we're not using it on this
project so I'll take it off of the admin interface."
It's true that it may be redundant, as the developer has built us an
entire system were we can automatically add our own keywords from my
controlled thesaurus to each article, link, or document, but I really
was curious as to how "Topic" was intended to be used.
