You might want to look at

This project is aimed at providing an api to do some of what you want.

Ideally use cck fields /modules so that the content types that you store can be used with views module, etc. I guess what I'm trying to say is that in this case, avoid creating your own table and use what drupal has.

For a project I am doing I need to build the following:

A content type with url (txt), metadata(txt) and tags(txt).

The url comes from a search result from a webservice, metadata and tags can be entered by user.

Do I create a new table for this, or do I use what Drupal offers?

Thanks in advance for the trouble taken,
