Schemes for Organizing the Web

[Gerry McKiernan]

     For a review of current efforts to organize Web resources, I
would greatly appreciate the title and URL of homepages that use
or have adapted standard (or non-standard) classification systems
to manage a collection of Internet resources. Although, I am
particularly interested in projects that have applied such
schemes at _detailed levels of specificity_, efforts to organize
resources using a structured scheme at broad or intermediate
levels are also of interest.

     These may be major or minor classification schemes used for
monographic or serial works, or any used by established indexing
and abstracting services for classifying or categorizing a
selected literature. I am interested in sites that have used such
schemes to organize resources in Science and Technology and such
related areas as Agriculture and Medicine, as well as other
disciplines.

     The following are some of the major classification schemes
and associated key sites I've identified to date:

                             NUMERIC
_DEWEY_
     CyberDewey
        http//:ivory.lm.com/~mundie/DDHC/CyberDewey.html

_MATHEMATICS SUBJECT CLASSIFICATION_
     Mathematics on the Web
          http://www.ams.org/mathweb/mi-mathbyclass.html/

_Ei CLASSIFICATION CODE_
     Engineering Electronic Library, Sweden (EELS)
          http://www.ub2.lu.se/eel/eelhome.html

_UDC (UNIVERSAL DECIMAL CLASSIFICATION)_
     BUBL
          http://www.bubl.bath.ac.uk/BUBL/Tree.html

     Edinburgh Engineering Virtual Library (EEVL)
          http://eevl.icbl.hw.ac.uk/

     NISS Information Gateway
          http://www.niss.ac.uk

     OMNI, Organising Medical Networked Information
          http://omni.ac.uk

                          ALPHANUMERIC

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

     CyberStacks(sm)
          http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/

     All sites will be appropriately categorized and hotlinked
from the CyberStacks(sm) homepage here at Iowa State over the
next few weeks and made accessible from the following URL:

       http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/CTW.htm

     Any and all suggestions and recommendations, as always, will
be much appreciated.
