Where to find 'taxonomy trees'?

Can anyone recommend sources for pre-organized taxonomy
trees, available in
plain-text (or XML, or Excel, or other) form?

I'd like to download a category/taxonomy/clustering list
that I could use in
Drupal, but that I could also use in FileMaker and to create
an on-disk
folder hierarchy (in my local desktop filesystem, which is
MacOSX.)

I thought that I saved some links to some of these, but
sadly I can not find
the bookmarks from that research.

I envision that there is some .edu or .gov site that might
have some
research into topical organization, and I believe some of
these kinds of
sources were in my bookmark collection of a half-dozen such
lists.

(Bookmark tools still don't match my brain's way of
thinking. ;)

I've considered using the taxonomy structure of projects
like 'dmoz', the
open directory project.

I'm also open to shared Drupal taxonomy lists, so that
sites could 'mirror'
the structure (not content) of categories and topics, if
they wanted to
'synch up'.

Thoughts? Resources?

Thanks,
