Dublin Core was more about relevant fields and less about the actual 
taxonomy used to fill them. I think what Paul is talking about fits 
more the line of controlled vocabularies at a broad scale and how do 
you pick them.

If you were looking for DC equivalent, the AGLS was an attempt to 
customise the structure for government information. I have no idea 
what the status is for that. Others on Link will probably know who 
work in government information strategies.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
