The Information Management Resource Centre (IMRC) of the Canadian government has a page, Classification, Thesauri and Controlled Vocabularies.
The resources in this section are directed at persons interested in improving the organization and retrieval of information. Classification, thesauri and controlled vocabularies are used to classify and describe information resources, thereby permitting concepts within a particular field of knowledge to be represented in a standard manner that reduces ambiguity for users.
A Canadian and governmental focus, naturally.
