Dear all,

We are planning some open source components and there are a couple of 
general issues and I would appreciate your feedback.

What is the best practice for declaring the type of controlled 
vocabulary  as either either thesaurus, taxonomy, classification scheme, 
subject headings,  folksonomy, etc ?  Hopefully referencing a standard 
vocabulary of these types (?)

It would help to be consistent with others and so that the tools  can 
adapt the management and presentation features, as well as offer 
services to external apps....

thanks for any input
regards, bob
