Organizing Categories

We have a scenario for maintaing items based on categorization. But at the same time we have multiple manufacturers can load items. We want manufacturers create their own categories and assign when loading item.

So whats the best way to organize categories?

Thanks in advance.

you need to maintain some nomenclature formula.

1. Prefix the manufacturer code with the actual code

OR

2. Assign a range of numbers to each manufacturer and concatenate with the actual code so that the codes will not clash across manufacturers.

Thanks for your response debasisdas.

Actually we want to allow Manufacturers to create their own categories. And we will be having the same database accessed by multiple manufacturers.

Can we build these in XML and store in database? And when display thier categories we need to parse these category wise.

Thanks in advance.
