Is there any already written library function to allow users to put 
collections of things into other collections?

Similar to how Google docs lets users create different docs, then group 
them within a collection, but also lets users drag collections into other 
collections.

I’d like to do that with user-created government agency name categories.  

For example, I let user create some agency names: Air Force, Marines, Navy, 
Army.  Then I let them create an umbrella collection called “Pentagon”, and 
let users drag Air Force, Marines, Navy, etc. into the umbrella collection.

What is complicating this, is that unlike the Google docs example where a 
doc is a discrete single object, user may discover smaller sub-sets of 
Army, and wish to categorize those within the Army name, which is not yet a 
collection.

Other example: user would like to add a new collection “Office of the 
President” and put OMB and Pentagon under that as equals.

Each user should be able to create their own collections so that multiple 
government department name categories exist.  This is so that they can call 
their own categories that may be of a different scope than what other users 
need.

What would the data model look like for this?

I’m hoping someone else has worked on this problem, probably not with 
government agency names, but perhaps the same principle with other objects.

Thanks!
