Great to hear all the interest in structured vocabs and related services.
To note on the education front, http://culturegrid.lexaurus.net/culturegrid/browse, also holds a copy of the Joint Academic Coding System (v1.7), which is a classification scheme for Higher Education courses.
(Use of JACS is being trialled for classifying collections from University Museums held within the Culture Grid, as part of the JISC funded project 'Contextual Wrappers, led by The Fitzwilliam Museum - http://contextualwrappers2.wordpress.com/about/)

Subject: Re: SHIC
How about doing a mapping from SHIC to ICONCLASS?
How large is SHIC? With a bit of effort it shouldn't be too much of a job. I would gladly volunteer some effort from the ICONCLASS side.
We could set up a collaborative effort to crowd-classify SHIC if anyone is interested...
