Hi Guy. It seams that you sent your message only to me :-) I am forwarding now to FIS By the way, "Domain Analisys" as in Knowledge Organization (Hjørland, Birger. "Domain analysis in information science: eleven approaches–traditional as well as innovative." Journal of documentation 58.4 (2002): 422-462.) is also a good approach. Best Moises
