560412 -         Projects often have an inherent structure that eases the job
560413 -         of subject identification.  For example a ship building
560414 -         project has a natural structure, as does manufacture of a
560415 -         motor, or an automobile.  So, too, construction of a building

560427 -         Over the centuries, culture has developed subjects for most
560428 -         established professions.  Thus, an enterprise has a natural
560429 -         organization, both for business and government agencies. This
560430 -         needs to be investigated to set up an initial organic subject
560431 -         structure.
560432 -
560433 -         SDS uses two primary relational category fields, one for
560434 -         accounting functions that apply across subjects, and one for
560435 -         subjects themselves.  For example, "procurement," "coding
560436 -         software" and "documentation" apply to any number of projects,
560437 -         just as "procurement," "hanging a door" or "fine grading a
560438 -         ditch" are tasks that occur on a wide range of construction
560439 -         projects.  For personal use the functions category need not be
