 That category part is where that pain starts.
 
 Some AppLab clients use the category for building GUI menus (there can
 tens of applications on a same server (EMBOSS)). If we have similar
need
 with databases then we should keep it. Or perhaps we can find better
 solution for the navigation problem. Category is bit artificial.
 
 Should we have the server name (or better interface name) at the end:
 databases.BioCorba/db_name.db_version/interface.version
 
 ..same database can be served through  different interfaces.
