Actually there is a lot of research being done to get around the need for a 'Dewey Decimal System'. The idea is to analyze relations between terms (names, datatypes, ect.) in an ontology. One could also compare relationships between terms: A child of B, C child of D, and A=B does B==A ?? Please note that these are examples of how terms and ontologies *could* be matched and not necessarily how someone would match terms. http://www.ontologymatching.org/ Also, http://wordnet.princeton.edu/ is a project I think is in the direction of a 'Dewey Decimal System' for knowlege.
