I realize that I should have been more specific. I need a categorized listing of the sciences and a categorized listing of the engineering disciplines. I am trying to find a way to decently organize my bookmarks to provide easier referencing.

I forgot about the Dewey Decimal system but did not realize that Fuller had created a list. Do you perhaps have a link where I can find his divisions?

That wasn't exactly an honest statement of mine, sorry. I was trying to think of a name in the past century who might have had an innovative approach to the classification of science and technology fields. I remembered reading in a book titled Education Automation that Fuller helped in the design of a school in the Midwest (Southern Illinois University Edwardsville). I just pulled it off the shelf:

"Quite early it became apparent that problems of financing, design, aesthetics, procedure, timing, objectives, community services, zoning, access, parking, social philosophy, and instructional methods were so intertwined that the usual advice of technicians would have to be supplemented by the thinking of highly creative people experienced in educational and architectural planning ..
Mr Fuller's talk to the planning commitee, East St Louis, April 22, 1961, was startling and rare because of its profound comprehensiveness."
