The Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR)(current edition is AACR II) are designed for use in the construction of catalogues and other lists in general libraries of all sizes. The rules cover the description of, and the provision of access points for, all library materials commonly collected at the present time. Part I deals with the provision of information describing the item being catalogued, and Part II deals with the determination and establishment of headings (access points) under which the descriptive information is to be presented to catalogue users, and with the making of references to those headings. In both parts the rules proceed from the general to the specific. AACR is co-published by the American Library Association, the Canadian Library Association, and the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (UK).

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has developed the Australian Standard Classification of Education (ASCED) for use in the collection, storage and dissemination of statistical and administrative data relating to educational activity undertaken in Australia. It contains Level of Education Structure and Definitions and Field of Education Structure and Definitions. ABS Catalogue no.: 1272.0.

This classification allows both R&D activity and other activity within the higher education sector to be categorised. It allows R&D activity to be categorised according to the field of research undertaken. In this respect, it is the nature of the R&D which is being examined. In addition, the classification is to be used within the higher education sector to classify courses, units of study and teaching activity to field. The categories in the classification include recognised academic disciplines and related major sub-fields taught at universities or tertiary institutions, major fields of research investigated by national research institutions and organisations, and emerging areas of study. Explanatory notes, definitions and guidelines for classifying data and the full classification are covered in Chapter 3 of the Australian Standard Research Classification (ASRC).

The SEO Classification allows R&D data to be classified according to the researcher's perceived purpose. The purpose categories take account of processes, products, health, education and other social and environmental aspects of particular interest. A purpose classification such as the SEO provides a set of categories which collectively exhaust all the objectives of research. In this respect, the scope of the SEO is more extensive than a classification of economic activities such as the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC), because not all R&D has an economic motive or context.

Four types of activity applicable to R&D are recognised in this classification: Pure basic research; Strategic basic research; Applied research; and Experimental development.

The JISC Pedagogical Vocabularies project was a short study, managed by CETIS, to scope the potential for identification, development and use of pedagogical vocabularies for the UK post-16 and HE communities. A Working Group of experts from various sectors and communities developed 3 reports: Report 1, Pedagogical Vocabularies Review, which inventories existing pedagogical vocabularies; Report 2, Vocabulary Management Technologies Review, which scopes current standards, specifications, technologies and methodologies; Report 3, Priorities, Issues and Recommendations to JISC.
