The Living Taxonomy Project (LTP)


An interesting project brought to my attention by Steven Cohen.
The Living Taxonomy Project is a collaborative effort aimed at creating a global set of open source, standards-based taxonomies for education. The purpose of these taxonomies will be to provide a free cataloging structure for the collection and sharing of education materials around the world. Currently, we have nine (9) taxonomies posted for review and editing. We will be appending new taxonomies on a regular basis and invite our users to add edit these taxonomies as well as suggest or create new ones. A list of upcoming taxonomy releases can be found on our What's Next page, and suggestions for new taxonomies can be made on our Suggestions page.

The LTP supports RSS feed for all of the Recent Changes.
