Agree with this also. One of the things we’ve been doing within BIM4Water is using Uniclass as a common classification for data items at an equipment level (pump, valve) – but one of our groups run by a colleague David Bell, has started to look at how we can apply this common classification at higher levels of our Water Industry data hierarches, so facilitate potential standardisation at higher levels. It would be interesting to look at how this approach could be applied at a cross-sector leve. 

Thanks for this Richard. Pipes and valves (e..g. steam pipes in power plants) are  one of the examples we are seeing on need/value for cross-sector consistency on taxonomies and classifications.
