Sounds close to perfect for my plan.  Okay, then:

L1 (pubinfo): path to the public PDF
L2 (pubinfo): locations of offprint
L1 (libinfo): path to personal PDF
AV: location of personal offprint
RP: whether there is a personal offprint
U1: relevance
U2: global notes
U3: group ID list
U4: whether it is an institute's publication

It's slightly strange to distinguish between "personal" and "global"
offprint, but maybe there are people who don't want to share their
copies.  ;-)  Be that as it may, I'm closer to the original
semantics now, which is certainly good.

Yes, very similar.  A user can be in zero or more groups.

Actually, the Django framework defines groups to organise users,
however, you can connect everything to them.  For example, if there
is a "polymer technology" user group in an institute, there is also
a bunch of "polymer technology" papers.

Tschö,
Torsten.
