Hi,
With regard to classification schemes for knowledge management, you may be
interested in a technology called Topic Maps.
Topic Maps are an ISO Standard that provide a mechanism
for describing a semantic or knowledge map that can be used to navigate
large amounts of information.
Topic Maps allow you to construct powerful webs or graphs of knowledge
classifications as opposed to less powerful hierarchies of classification.
Topic Maps sit completely independently of the information set that it
allows you to navigate.
There is a web site located at http://www.topicmaps.com that has some
information regarding Topic Maps as well as an On-line demonstration.
