Schemas and vocubalaries

Here are two resources that may help people in using schemas to build taxonomies.

Schemaweb.info/ - " SchemaWeb is a directory of RDF schemas expressed in the RDFS, OWL and DAML+OIL schema languages. SchemaWeb is a place for developers and designers working with RDF. It provides a comprehensive directory of RDF schemas to be browsed and searched by human agents and also an extensive set of web services to be used by software agents that wish to obtain real-time schema information whilst processing RDF data. "

Vocab.org/ - " A URI space for vocabularies"
