[euopendata] Classification of open datasets...

[Charles RUELLE]

Hi,

This topic is very interesting.
In France, for data.gouv.fr (the french open data portal) we currently use Eurovoc to describe our datasets.
Do you know who is using Eurovoc ? What are others classifications that are used ?

Best regards,
