-- A back of the envelope schema for tagged technology keywords

CREATE TABLE keywords (
keyword TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
url TEXT,
cantag BOOLEAN);

CREATE TABLE taggings (
tag TEXT REFERENCES keywords,
keyword TEXT REFERENCES keywords);

-- And a trigger is needed to ensure that taggings.tag
-- is related to a keywords row having a keywords.cantag value of true.
