Not to take away from your achievement, but the National Library of Canada
has been doing this for a while through its Web directory "Canadian
Information By Subject" (http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/caninfo/ecaninfo.htm).
I've reproduced what the pages look like for science and astronmy via the
Lynx browser:
Canadian Information By Subject: Subject Order (p6 of 10)
5 Science, mathematics
50 Science, mathematics in general
51 Mathematics
52 Astronomy
53 Physics
54 Chemistry
55 Earth sciences (incl. meteorology)
56 Paleontology
57 Life sciences (incl. biology)
58 Botany
59 Zoology

Obviously not as thorough or finely classified as your more specialized
site. The NLC Canadian Information By Subject does pick up sites such as
yours for listing, so do submit it for inclusion.
