in addition to metadata and ontologies, I’m interested in finding out if anybody has had experience with structured languages, taxonomies, and thesauruses. I’ve come across ERIC (http://www.eric.ed.gov/), which has a large thesaurus, but, it’s not well structured. I would love to hear about any structured taxonomies of educational topics (addition, fractions, lipids, photosynthesis, etc) that can be used to mark-up and categorize educational works.
