First is the idea of categorization, or freeform tagging, such as is present in the Atom category element [3]. This is a concept used in the POI model, but seems incredibly useful for any type of object, and therefore I believe category should be a property of Thing. 

It shouldn't be difficult to reuse http://commontag.org/Home spec for this. Their main case is RDFa, while schema.org has official RDFa representation too.
