I am almost wondering if Category is (or can function as) orthogonal to the 
other information. In your first example, you used "ward" by which I assume you 
mean one wing (or corridor) of one floor of one hospital inpatient unit. Each 
hospital would have many such wards, making it seem that this is a 
semi-granular entity (below which is room and bed) and yet in this example it 
is at the top level "Category" as a "kind of thing" across, say, all hospitals?
