You could use a tagging system. Wirehose has such a thing and I think
that Wonder does too.
You could then use the tags to even drill to a set of products.
The tags could have validation logic based upon the type of product.
Just some thoughts.

Heyya,
This is slightly off-topic, but I figure fellow WO developers might
have input: I'm rewriting the store functionality of ThoughtConduit
and need to decide on a more refined version of my EOModel. In
particular, I want Products to be able to handle things such as size
and color (for t-shirts for example). I'm trying to decide how to
approach that. I could subclass Product for each size and color, but
that seems wasteful since only some products are shirts. Other types
of products may or may not have qualifiers such as size or color....
but they may need other types of qualifiers. Alternately, I could
let each group (it's a multigroup system) enter in a list of
subtypes and use relationships on ProductItems to denote whichever.
sigh. It's one of those things where it's best to get the model
right before proceeding. So, I'm racking my brain. Maybe it's time
to take a data modeling class :)
any thoughts?
