Agree with Rebecca It might please you that this list of resource types is used in the Nordic Metadata Project. We are also implementing subsets of it for clients. For the purpose of easy maintenance and use of such vocabularies and also classification systems, we have developed a simple line file format for storing such structures. The file can be used for loading a hierarchical classification system into a database or directly into metadata maintenance software or a search form. You may inspect a demo of this in http://gungner.lub.lu.se/~siglun/lucat/searchform.html click on the link "resource type" at the end of the page I attach the resource type list I currently use Yours Sigfrid _____________ PS Our tree file coding is as follows (rougly) tree-file::=*(linkage|name) linkage::=lable";"relation"="lable eol name::=lable";title="iso":"<Name of node> iso::=sv|en|da|no ;language code according to ISO lable::="root"|<Unique lable for node> relation::="parent"|"sibling" ;Only parent used currently eol::=CRLF | LF
