UN has overlapping categorization schemes, developed by different branches. Way to go Kofi.

I'm wondering about the relationship between [[EURONICE]] (over 17000 terms) and [[UNSPSC]] (16384 terms). Both describe [[product]]s and [[product group]]s. Google gives zero hits when searching for both... I'm on it. Oh yes... I found a topic map that was automatically built from UNSPSC it's in [[XTM]]-format. Must get some tools to look at it. You can find it [http://www.techquila.com/topicmaps/tmworld/ here] if you want to take a look.

I'm borderlining on IOD: It seems that [[UN]] has more then one classification scheme for [[product]]s. You can browse [http://unstats.un.org/unsd/cr/registry/regct.asp Inventory of Classifications] at [[UNSD]]'s site... look at [[CPC]] (Central Product Classification)... it's way overlapping with [[UNSPSC]]. Way to go UN.
