Hi Arnon,
Thank you for sharing the article. This looks like a helpful way to get
started. While it could be that along the way of categorizing the material
we have, we may end up suggesting changes in the categories (I don't know
if this would be the case or not), the system you suggest already has
thought behind it, so I would support starting out by using it.
