Ryan Duguid from Microsoft recently posted on the ECM Team Blog that Microsoft recently teamed up with WAND to make their General Business Taxonomy available as a free download. Very cool for those looking to get started with taxonomies!
Also check out additional taxonomies from WAND (these aren’t free) in the areas of Products & Services, Local Search, Enterprise, Jobs, Travel, Medical, Lifecycle, Finance and Records Retention.
