Well,
What we aim is to provide content from our content bank to all websites in our network.
Each website is owned by different people, therefore changing or creating new categories is not an option.
Every website has its own purpose and has been planned and built to accomplish their own goals, as well as the needs and vision of the individual or organization behind the project. This is why the categories name and structure has to be unique for each one.
However, when it comes to the content, we have articles that fit in different categories. For example, an article talking about “Start up companies in Israel”, would fit in Economics in a website while it fits in Middle East in the other. ?Does this make sense?
