[Sigia-l] User experience taxonomy

[mark.reuten at didata.com.au]

Is there anyone out there that has attemped to construct a taxonomy /
controlled vocabulary for the user experience, information architecture and
usability arena?

I think I might be in need of one! Over the last 4 years I have been
building a research archive which contains favorites, papers, presentations
and deliverables related to graphic design, interaction design, information
architecture, usability etc.... It contains about 3000 items and is
organized in a structure of 95 directories. As you might guess it is
getting harder and harder to find items when I need them.

I'm thinking of constructing my own personal information portal which would
allow me to add new items and classify them using a controlled vocabulary
and later find them using a taxonomy or search engine.

Has anyone already done something simular, is there a product out there
that already does this?

Thanks for the help!

Mark
