Hi Tim,

I am working for a project called UNIVERSAL (has the objective to set up 
an open repository for learning resources, which will be the basis for 
exchange activities and collaboration among faculty members).

We are using RDF for our data and for the classification of learning resources we are using a Taxonomy also represented in RDF
See the following URL and select the topic "Taxonomy" to see the RDF implementation:

I hope this helps and I look forward to your comments

best Regards

Thomas
