[Sigia-l] e-Government Taxonomy

[Stewart, Erin [NEA]]

Hi,

My understanding is that the GILS profile allows an agency to declare a controlled vocabulary to support searching (e.g., EPA).  However, GILS does not provide a taxonomy; it is a metadata scheme.

I believe the US government already has GILS (http://www.gils.net/).  And if
I'm sure there's a "taxonomy" used by librarians for classifying government
information.
