>I am wondering if anyone knows how many controlled vocabularies exist in the world today? I am aware of the OBO Foundry, Taxobank, and I have started to collect lists from other places, but I don't have a clue as to whether these are a representative sample or not. I can only start to understand if I know how many are out there (in every different version). Does anyone have an idea? Does anyone know where I might look? Does the SAS collection at Toronto serve as a complete inventory of these things?

>And by controlled vocabulary I mean classification schemes, thesauri, terminologies, ontologies, etc. Anything that is a restricted set of semantics used in the process of indexing or labeling. Yes, that is very general ;-)

>Thanks for any and all help you can provide.
