Re: Vocabularies to classify terms

Alberto

yr question is about a very generic example

afaik, such schemas tend to be 'domain' specific, ie, you first need
to identify want domain
your categories/vocabulary falls under, then you can try to find if
such a set exists already in the public domain

By domain it is intended not only 'knowledge domain' (the specific
topic you are trying to represent in the cats) but also 'system
domain' (the platform/environment the knowledge domain lives in,
referring more to the cateogirzation of a structure rather than its
contents)

https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Category:Top-level_categories

https://wiki.roll20.net/Category:Top-level_categories

//unfortunately, existing categorizasion schemas often mix the two, yak)


see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Fundamental_categories

There are few purely faceted classifications; the best known of these
is the Colon Classification of S. R. Ranganathan, a general knowledge
classification for libraries.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faceted_classification

General top level categories are found in Deweys system, which is the
nearest thing
I can think of based on yr description
