Taxonomies and Thesauri in the public sector

A bibliography to help workers throughout the UK public sector as they plan implementation of taxonomies for use with Subject metadata.

The bibliography has been prepared for Taxonomies in the Public Sector (TiPS), a discussion group which supports the Cabinet Office’s Metadata Working Group by encouraging information professionals in the public sector to meet and develop guidance on the implementation of taxonomies and metadata. While IPSV (Integrated Public Sector Vocabulary) and its predecessors GCL and LGCL are an important focus for compliance with e-government standards, public sector applications commonly use a complementary specialised vocabulary in tandem with IPSV. The bibliography gives background references across the field from development to exploitation and sharing the outputs.

You will find the bibliography at http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/schemasstandards/metadata_document.asp?docnum=1041
