Oos. Can never keep straight which lists allow you to reply
automatically to the list and which don't...
Hi Ben et all,
It's another case where the expertise of a professional librarian or
info scientist should be employed. One with experience with this
vocabularies/classification/cataloguing and/or in the right subject
area for your repository of course. But you have some of those to ask
now don't you?

Sarah,
Thought that might be the answer, but one can hope :)
I have done a search and found numerous lists for almost all subjects I could think of.
I assume that providing the same list is used for the same discipline/subject area we should be ok.
This looks like a bugger of a issue to get right.
Regards,
Ben

Subject: Re: Thesauri and authority files for keywords
Hi Ben
I think you need to specify exactly what type of authority list/
thesaurus you are asking for. Is it a general subject one covering the
whole universe? Or within certain subject disciplines?
It's not really possible to specify one standard authority list or
thesaurus or subject vocabulary (I'm assuming you are talking about
subject here) for all of UK metadata implementations as the need of each
implementation will be different, with cross-over amongst certain
communities, subject disciplines, etc.

All,
I am going to use VDEX but I don't think we have the resources to build the authority list/thesaurus.
Is anybody out there using an authority list/thesaurus, and if so which one(s).
Is there any work ongoing to create a spec/standard for UK metadata.
Regards,
Ben
