Taxonomies?

[Darryn Sneller <dgsneller@yahoo.com>]

There are periodic discussions of taxonomies on this
list and I was wondering if anyone knew if there are
any standards organizations that create taxonomies and
publish them for public use? Although this isn't an
XML question per se, I tried to sign up for the
Taxonomy Discussion list, but it seems to have been
discontinued.

Thanks.
