For a 'to-one' type of arrangement, enums are perfect so long as your categories don't change often.
For a 'to-many' you are describing, they are less so. You could serialize an enum set, but then you can't query it. The only other solution I know of would be to put them on a table and relate to that… which sorta defeats the purpose of using an enum.

On the UI side I would like to use checkboxes to select which categories to apply to an EO. Then, in the database have only those selections saved to the database.
