I agree with Terry Kuny that we need some kind of heirarchical
arrangement or else we'll have a real mess on our hands. I also agree
with Peter Graham that whenever possible it is a good idea to not
reinvent the wheel. Therefore I am taking some time to research
appropriate schemes and thesauri and will make an attempt to synthesize a
proposal from a variety of sources.
All the pointers and information that folks have been posting have been
really helpful, thanks. If anyone knows of a thesaurus that may inform
this effort, please let me know. Thanks,
Roy Tennant
