Hi Sean:

An ebRIM Registry can support any classification scheme.

Here is one using the FACC Classification Scheme:

http://indicio.wrs.galdosinc.com/indicio/query?request=getRecordById&inc
lude=all&ElementSetName=full&view=urn:x-indicio:csw-ebrim:def:registry:t
ransformation:RegistryBrowser&id=urn:x-ogc:specification:csw-ebrim:Class
ificationScheme:DIGEST-FACC:Features

Here is one providing a classification of services using ISO 19119

http://indicio.wrs.galdosinc.com/indicio/query?request=getRecordById&inc
lude=all&ElementSetName=full&view=urn:x-indicio:csw-ebrim:def:registry:t
ransformation:RegistryBrowser&id=urn:x-ogc:specification:csw-ebrim:Class
ificationScheme:ISO-19119:Services

We will be providing several soon for OASIS EDXL.

If you can define a useful one for GeoRSS we could host it.

Cheers

Ron

nice. that looks like it might overlap with categorization schemes
commonly used by yellow page providers.

for instance http://www.yellowbook.com/Category/T/

almost.

<category term="Creative_Commons"
scheme="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/"/>

the nice thing about that scheme is that you can dereference any
category to learn what it means. plus for many terms, the wikipedia page

has become the canonical url anyway.
