If SciPinion wants to organize the areas of expertise by main and sub-classifications, what schema would you recommend? Is there a standard system SciPinion could adopt?

I would probably start applying the ERC sectors scheme, with minimal modifications

For me, it would make sense to use Fields of Research and Development (FORD) as main and either expertise or keywords as sub-classification.
As a multidisciplinary researcher, even though I am a specialist in scientific image analysis, I could fit in many FORDs - but only in a few keywords.

Classification should ideally be done using generic keywords (umbrella terms for specific fields) and sub-terms for subdivisions. For instance, you could classify expertise as cancer/oncology for any mild, malignant, or metastatic tumours, then you could divide by tissue type, which is the predominant approach used for specialist and expertise training, (e.g., lung, breast, colorectal, etc.).
