[Zope-CMF] Nested Metadata

[Kevin Carlson]

I did this using main categories as the Zope metadata and then using an RDB
to store sub-categories and the sub-category metadata elements.

This might not be the ultimate solution, but you could store the metadata as
URL-type strings (e.g. Community/Tourism/Africa). So you don't have to
change everything, as URLs are just plain strings that can be stored in a
string field. To select the values, one could use a tree-type selector form
