[Zope] Zope newbie ZODB question

Hello all,

I have been trying my hardest to understand Zope and all that encompasses it
and I am getting close but I have a few questions. What I am attempting is a
simple Employee and Branch / Department list.

The question I have is this.. Is the way I have approached it a good way to
accomplish this task or is there a "better" way.

Here is what I have done.

I have a folder off of the root named Employees under it I have a folder
called emplist with files named "username" under it.  Each of these files
have several properties (fname, lname, SSS, brid etc....) I am just
attempting to get a list of users and can accomplish this with dtml-in's.
The question really comes in when I start linking branches to employees. I
have another folder under root call branches with files under it with
properties for each file (bname, badress1, baddress2, bid etc) I am looking
to add a lot of information such as documents and notes later on.

Is this going to scale verry well or is there something I am missing with
Zope or am I on the right track?

Thanks 

Travis
