I've just come across a reference to another one: the "Factiva
Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare Taxonomy"
<http://www.factiva.com/content/pharmataxonomy.asp?node=menuElem1505>
I suspect that it may be too business-oriented for your needs, besides
being American and not something that you can see before you buy. Their
Web site gives the following "Quick Facts":
* Over 200 industry terms grouped under Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals
and Healthcare
* More than 80 organization terms grouped under Charities/Non-Profit
Groups, -Healthcare-Related Associations, International/Government
Bodies and Pharmaceutical Industry Associations
* More than 580 subject terms grouped under Corporate News,
Demographic Groups and Medical Systems/Conditions
