    Xabier,

     

    The multilingual (over 20 languages), wide-coverage Eurovoc thesaurus with
    its approximately 6000 classes has a subset of about 60 science-oriented
    classes, plus many related terms and classes in other domains that may also
    be useful (e.g. politics, law, economics, trade, finance, social questions,
    education, employment, transport, envirosnment, agriculture, energy,
    geography). The science-oriented classes provide the major science domains,
    but may not be detailed enough for your purposes. Please check out for
    yourself.

     

    Eurovoc is browsable at http://europa.eu/eurovoc/ and is available free for
    research purposes. For details on where to get Eurovoc, see
    http://langtech.jrc.it/0509_EU-Enlargement-Workshop.html#HOW_TO_GET_THE_AC_C
    ORPUS_AND_EUROVOC.

     

    Eurovoc was developed for manual cataloguing of mainly parliamentary
    documents, but collections of multi-label classified documents such as the
    JRC-Acquis (http://langtech.jrc.it/JRC-Acquis.html) have been used to train
    an automatic multi-label Eurovoc classification system.

     

    I hope this helps. All the best,

     

    Ralf

    Subject: [Corpora-List] Standard ontology for document classification?

     

    Dear all,

    I want to classify many scientific documents among different categories

    based on their knowledge area, such as health, geography...

    My question is whether there is a standard ontology for such a

    classification.

    Regards,
