----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I am greatly interested in identifying additional Web collections
that have adopted/adapted Library classification schemes or controlled
vocabularies for organizing Web resources for potential inclusion in my Web
clearinghouse _Beyond Bookmarks: Schemes for Organizing the Web_.
_Beyond Bookmarks_ is available at:
http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/CTW.htm
I am not only interested in the application of international
schemes such as Dewey and Library of Congress, but national and
local library schemes as well. Of particular interest is the application of a
*controlled vocabulary* for organizing or augmenting access to a Web collection.
In addition to library schemes, I am also interested in the application of
non-library standard schemes of organization to Web resources.
As Always, Any and All contributions, queries, critiques, comments, questions,
concerns, etc., etc. are Most Welcome.
Regards,
