QuestionHow do I model this? Pin

I'm going to create a rather large report that collects the data from two different sources.
One is a badly normalized database, where the data I need is spread over a large number of columns in many tables.
The other is an Entity–attribute–value model[^].

I don't have any problems in fetching the data from either source, but the data is going to be organised in categories and subcategories, or possibly a tree, that are currently not existing in the EAV model and not corresponding at all with the data model on the other database, so they need to be created from scratch.

I'm looking for ideas on how to make this in a fairly futureproof way, I don't really have any keys to use either. It's just the column names in one source and the attribute names in the other.
I realize there is no right way of doing this (but many wrong).
So any opinions on how to do this, and as important, how not to do this, is appreciated.

And no, I can't do much about the structure of the sources, that's way out of scope.
