    @brief A category inside the report database
    Every item in the report database is assigned to a category. A category is a DRC rule check for example. Categories can be organized hierarchically, i.e. a category may have sub-categories. Item counts are summarized for categories and items belonging to sub-categories of one category can be browsed together for example. As a general rule, categories not being leaf categories (having child categories) may not have items.

Cells are associated with layout database cells and can come with a example instantiation if the layout database does not allow a unique association of the cells.
    Items in the database can have a variety of attributes: values, tags and an image object. Values are geometrical objects for example. Tags are a set of boolean flags and an image can be attached to an item to provide a screenshot for visualization for example.
    This is the main report database object. The basic use case of this object is to create one inside a \LayoutView and populate it with items, cell and categories or load it from a file. Another use case is to create a standalone ReportDatabase object and use the methods provided to perform queries or to populate it.

        Tags are used to tag items in the database and to specify tagged (named) values. This method will always succeed and the tag will be created if it does not exist yet. Tags are basically names. There are user tags (for free assignment) and system tags which are used within the system. Both are separated to avoid name clashes.

        \tag_id handles system tags while \user_tag_id handles user tags.
