The United Kingdom Government Category List (GCL) was a type of controlled vocabulary called a taxonomy, for use in choosing Subject metadata and keywords, primarily for indexing government web pages. The use of GCL terms in the metadata of all government resources is intended to facilitate, encourage and simplify automatic categorisation. The Government Category list was superseded by the Integrated Public Sector Vocabulary (IPSV) during 2006, which incorporates terms from GCL as well as from other controlled vocabularies, and is designed to enable semantic interoperability of systems and web resources across the UK public sector.
Famous quotes containing the words government, category and/or list:
“Nations do not think, they only feel. They get their feelings at second hand through their temperaments, not their brains. A nation can be brought—by force of circumstances, not argument—to reconcile itself to any kind of government or religion that can be devised; in time it will fit itself to the required conditions; later it will prefer them and will fiercely fight for them.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“I see no reason for calling my work poetry except that there is no other category in which to put it.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
“The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)
