24 *
25 * \brief A category for categorizing items or whole feeds.
26 *
27 * A category can be an informal string set by the feed author ("General",
28 * "Stuff I like"), a tag assigned by readers, as known from flickr.com
29 * or de.licio.us ("KDE", "funny"), or a term from a formally defined ontology.
30 *
31 * To represent the category in a user interface, use label() (or term() as
32 * fallback). To create a key for e.g. storage purposes, use scheme() + term().
