Me too I would like to make my compliments. 
 
Coming from the usability arena, I was always surprised why most
classifications are still around the subject of the information. In
Lucent we always used to index information elements not only according
to the subject (In Lucent the subject is the product that we describe).
But in Lucent we also used to index information according to the user
scenario in which the information is useful. 
 
User scenario's consist of:
- the person (experience, education and function)
- who has a certain goal
- and finds him(her)self in a certain situation
- and therefore engages into a certain task
 
As you can tell, my 'standard' way of organizing information is by using
the following facets:
- subject
- person
- goal
- situation
 
I am very happy with your classification Aida because I see a discipline
for standardizing faceted metadata emerging. My 'standard' fits in your
proposal very well.
 
Please keep up the good work
 
Marcel
