You might also look into the CV's done by some of the
commercial database vendors -- perhaps they might
license them. Gale Group's PROMT has a very broad,
high-quality vocabulary that also ties into a
numerical classification scheme
(http://www.galegroup.com).
Two other high-quality CVs: 1. RDS (Responsive
Database Service) for their Business & Industry
Database. Looks like Gale has bought them too, so
it's www.galegroup.com again, and 2. Bell & Howell
Information and Learning has one developed for their
ABI Inform Database (http://www.umi.com).
