===Things===
This keeps track of all the things -- a {{l/wp|taxonomy}} in the form of a branching {{l/wp|hierarchy}}. One guideline to remember: there's no need to put a thing under another thing ''unless'' that's necessary in order to disambiguate between two homonymous things.
<syntaxhighlight lang=SQL>
CREATE TABLE
  `things` (
    `ID` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    `WhenNew`    timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT current_timestamp(),
    `ID_Base`    int(11) DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'ID of parent record',
    `ID_Extern`  int(11) DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'external reference, if any',
    `Name`      varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'label, e.g. for using in lists',
    PRIMARY KEY (`ID`)

===Stuff===
This keeps track of stuff about the things -- a set of semantic values that can be set for any Thing.
<syntaxhighlight lang=SQL>
CREATE TABLE
  `stuff` (
    `ID` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    `WhenNew`    timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT current_timestamp(),
    `Name`      varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'name of attribute',
    PRIMARY KEY (`ID`)
  ) ENGINE = InnoDB
</syntaxhighlight>
===Extern===
This tracks external data repositories.
<syntaxhighlight lang=SQL>
CREATE TABLE
  `extern` (
    `ID`      int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    `WhenNew`  timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT current_timestamp() COMMENT 'when this record was added',
    `SID_Type` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'slug for thing-type (matches coded external data)',
    `Name`    varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'single line for lists',
    PRIMARY KEY (`ID`)
  ) ENGINE = InnoDB
</syntaxhighlight>

About

All the things I need to track tie together in various ways, it seems. Hoard is the database that ties them together. It also has a number of ad hoc uses.
