If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I need vocabulary help. Basically, I have two fields in a database, one with broad topics (history, science, literature) and one with more narrow ones (chemistry, physics, biology). The database works in such a way that each clip can be assigned one value from each list.

Anyway, I need to decide what to call the lists of values without making them just "topic" and "subtopic." Suggestions?

It's a brave person who can venture outside before caffeination.

...you expect me to be capable of making caffeine prior to HAVING caffeine? Crazy. This is one reason to be in Seattle. The caffeine is everywhere. Excellent stuff.

Just had a quick talk with the producer, there will be compensation.

Yay!!

One of my friends is most awesome, and has been meeting me for breakfast several times a week. While I am in no way awake enough for company when I meet her, by the time I've rolled out of bed, met her, coffeed, and walked home, I'm awake enough that I don't go back to bed. Which is really the point of the whole thing.

Taxonmy! How about "Field" and "Specialty"? Or can you not name a field "Field"?

"Field" and "Specialty" would work for people, but I'm not sure they make sense for video clips.

Jessica, why can't you use Topic and Subtopic?

A nice guy switched seats for us, and a guy that looks very much like Hec just got on this plane.

Because the two fields won't have a true set/subset relationship, so I don't want to imply one -- some clips will *only* have a narrow subject and no broad one.

Right now I'm thinking of using "Unit" and "Section"
