Where you say 'the learning business', perhaps you could be a bit more
specific? Education Taxonomies will need to take account of the specifics
of the organisations and curricula they deal with, and you've left this
very open.
Until recently, I was involved with 'Te Kete Ipurangi' (www.tki.org.nz).
This is a portal for pre-tertiary new zealand educators and school
administrators.
You might find it useful to look over the terms used on the search page on
that site. You might also find it useful to get hold of a copy of the
SCIS thesaurus which is developed i Australia for use by school libraries.
Te Kete Ipurangi used this as the prefered source for our own much smaller
vocabulary.
You might be interested in the 'DCMI Education Working Group' within the
Dublin core effort. There's an archive of discussion and other
information at:
