The idea is that we would all have a standard for categorization, science has already taken care of a lot of things, but they have missed much! They have yet to find a map in which to put, the different odors, different foodstuffs (meals, as opposed to, high-protein, low fat, etc.)... this is where my
organization would come in...
It's members would do with the entire known universe what Netscape is doing for the internet (www.dmoz.org)...
The world is full of people who would absolutely love this job! They would love the thought of spending their life doing this stuff - and where else would they be happy?!
I love this idea...

Add codes for categories (and sub-categories, etc.) and I like it. Bar codes, XML Schema, automate everything!! |

I just realised that usually all I do with ideas like this is check for a "marked for deletion" text |
|
| |
and I just found one on my other idea |
|
| |
catagory suggestion
other: metaphysics |

A universal binary tree would become obsolete as soon as someone articulates (or stumbles across) an original idea. Therefore, as soon as one of the employees of this organization drops a note in the suggestion box, work would have to begin on the next edition of the I.C.E.
Brilliant!
I originally fish boned this post, but after thinking of the job security offered by this idea, and realizing that I would be one of the people who would love this job, I'm changing to [+].
Boss, if you need me, I'll be by the suggestion box

//Describing how we organize the world is the job of the philosophical subdiscipline of "ontology" ". So, there are already people who sort of do this; they're philosophers.// |

In the end, there can be only one. |

[mrthingy] firstly, it aint in France, second, the IICE would be much more detailed |
|
| |
<firstly, it aint in France> |

Incorrect. "More than 200,000 libraries worldwide in 135 countries count on the DDC to keep their collections organized so that their users can easily locate the resources they need. DDC has been translated into more than 30 languages." (www.oclc.org/dewey) |
|
| |
<IICE would be much more detailed> |
|
| |
Prove that they would be more detailed than DDC and LOC Subject Headings. |
|
| |
Patents have a fairly effective classification system called the International Patent Classification (IPC). It's much more detailed than DDC (or halfbakery classification). |

Netscape! Wow, I remember that. |
