It provides a basic admin interface to manage both tree and flat style categories. Any item of data can be added to one or more categories. For this, you can use a hasMany or hasAndBelongsToMany (HABTM) association. The database structure provides a join table called `categorized` for implementation of HABTM associations in case the items belong to several categories.
