Yes and no.
Pjotr and I have discussed this relating to biotech software. He said
that many scientists have a hard time finding the right tools for
the job.
I proposed tight integration with wikidata[1] (every software in the
world will eventually have an item there) and Guix (QID on every
package
and lookup/catogory integration) and leave all the categorizing to
them.
Ha problem sidestepped, they are bikeshedding experts over there in
wikiland! :D
The advantage of this is that everyone using wikidata (every package
manager) could pull the same categorization so we only do it once in a
central
What do you think?

There is also the Free Software Directory

I don't know what the relationship between Wikidata and the FSD is
Does Wikidata import data from the FSD ? Or viceversa ?
