[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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

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

Whoa! Crazy xpost specificity!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"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?

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"

When I was putting together databases I often used Unit for the over-category. I think that works. I still think you could use Field. Unit and Field. Doesn't really matter. Section is fine.
