The next line in my mail was:
2. A large number of taxonomies used by the News industry use
numeric terms.
I'm referring to terms in taxonomies, not to numbers per se. In the
News world, there are a number of vast taxonomies utilising numeric
codes. Examples given in the NewsML 2 Technical Specification [1]
include:
- CUSIP (eg "037833100", ie Apple Computer)
- ISBN (eg "0-321-18578-1", ie The Unicode Standard, Version 4.0)
- ISSN (eg "0261-3077", ie The Guardian)
- SEDOL (eg "0263494", ie BAE Systems)
- Valoren (eg "1203203", ie UBS)
The IPTC Subject NewsCodes [2] too are numeric (eg "15095000", ie
Naginata).
Note: Naginata is a Japanese traditional martial art using a pole
sword made of wood. "Naginata" means a spear with a curved blade.
