I've been warming up to a couple of modifications to package naming--in particular, I want to make it easier to publish outside of the shared namespace. Before pursuing that, I had a couple of questions about package classification schemes. If you remember, in
http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/pkg-discuss/2008-June/004083.html I made reference to the freedesktop.org classification scheme http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html via the info.classification property set name=info.classification value=freedesktop.org:Development/IDE To make sure that we understand what we might encode into such a property (or properties), I looked around for other schemes. I found a few more, some of which may be familiar: - 1998 ACM Computing Classification System (CCS) http://www.acm.org/class/1998/ - United Nations Standard Product and Service Code, v10 http://unspsc.org/ - US Patent Classification (USPC) System http://www.uspto.gov/go/classification/ One question that comes to mind is if anyone's organization is expected to use one or more of these to classify all the software running on its systems, due to business policy or some external regulation or standard. Obviously, if you're familiar with, or using, another system, it would be great to mention it now.
