Please post any answer to his question.  I too am very interested in 
the subject (as others must be) and in fact have joined this listserv 
primarily for exchanging information on this topic.  I am more 
interested in subject hierarchies (the neo-nerdish ones set up by 
different services like Yahoo as well as the Dewey or L.C. ones set 
up by 2 public libraries and 1 university library) than in document 
description, but I have found both to be inseparable sometimes when 
one considers web documents.
