Accounts
Accounts are typically used for featured profiles on your website. These normally consist of cast from a movie, directors, producers, etc. Accounts can be considered a global user, because they can appear across multiple sites. Accounts also have the ability to login to a site, so it is possible for your feature profiles to interact with your site members.
Users
Users belong to your site. Depending on the type of site you have, they can have profiles and resell content just like Accounts do. Sites can be grouped together so they same user account works across multiple sites.
Content
Content belongs to either an account or a user. Content can range from a wide variety of items, such as: videos, photos, blogs, news, products, inventory, events, songs, albums, and objects.
Labels
Labels are the building blocks of organizing your content. Labels are a backend filter. They can not be specified in the URL unless whitelisted by the page. This makes them a secure filtering solution, because you can limit your site pages to content of a certain label and not worry about a user accessing content outside of that label.
Labels can also be used when requesting profiles. By specifying a label, your profiles will only list of they have content of that particular label.
You can add labels in batch or on a per content basis. Labels can be added in batch under the "bulk operations" widget on the "browse content" page. Labels can be added manually on an individual content item, by clicking on the "edit properties" link on the content page.
Tags
Tags are essentially public labels. Tags can be specified in the URL. Tags usually show up on content pages, so you can browse similiar content. The tagging system can be accomplished via the Category system, but it shouldn't because tags are considered a light weird mechanism you can create on the fly. Also keeping tags seperate from categories allow you to browse tags within a category.

Categories
Categories are robust tags. The tagging system could be created under the category system by creating a root category called "Tag" and then creating sub-categories with the actual tag names. This is a cumbersom process, which is why the there is a seperate light weight tagging system. Categories also allow heirarchy support with as many levels as you want. Example: DVDS -> USA -> California -> Genre -> Action. Categories can be specified in the URL.
You have to first create categories on the category page. Once they are created, you can add them to the appropriate content.

Associations
Associations are a term used to map content with accounts via a term. A common term would be "Cast". Videos normally have people in them, so you can associate the people with the videos via the "Cast" term. Other common associations are director, producer, writter, production company, etc.
You have to first create associations on the associations page. Once they are created, you can make associations with the appropriate content.
You can make associations in batch. Associations can be made in batch under the "bulk operations" widget on the "browse content" page.
Relationships
Relationships are a term used to map content with other content via a term. A common example is linking up scenes of a video into a DVD object, DVDs to a Box Set, etc. Relationships allow you to make this connection.
You have to first create relationships on the relationships page. Once they are created, you can make relationships with the appropriate content.

Custom Fields
Custom fields allow you to store additional information on objects. This can be public information like eye color for accounts, or internal information like account type that is used with the faceted search mechanism.
