There was a problem hiding this comment.
thinking outloud: if in the future (not that distant) we want to filter / search by tag would that be better if we have Tag as separate model and in ManyTomany relationship? then all search queries will be something like CatalogEntry.objects.filter(tags__in=["chemistry", "finance", ...])

I'm not sure about performance, though 🤔

Model = table, right? (still learning what the django abstractions are)
If so, I think for performance we might be better with multiple rows in the catalog (one for each tag), as usually its quicker to search the DB than do joins... but it also somewhat depends on how what type of queries we expect to be doing most frequently ...
All that said, I also don't expect the catalog to be so large that changing the data model a few months down the line ends up being prohibitive either...
