        Create a Category. There is specialization of a Category that can also be created using this operation. To create this specialization, you should specify a nodeType other than Category in the supplied category.

        Valid nodeTypes for this request are:

        • SubjectAreaDefinition to create a Category that represents a subject area
        • Category to create a category that is not a subject area
        The qualifiedName can be specified and will be honoured. If it is specified then the caller may wish to ensure that it is unique. If this qualifiedName is not specified then one will be generated as GlossaryCategory concatinated with the the guid.

        Failure to create the Categories classifications, link to its glossary or its icon, results in the create failing and the category being deleted
