I am wondering which existing classification to use when organizing/ordering knowledge entities which are founded in GFO?
Classification is used in a sense of a thematic categorization. Major classifications can be found in the information- and library realm such as the DDC, but there are others too. Here are two examples of a "good" and "bad" one in this regard:
ILC (Integrated Levels Classification) - A facet-oriented classification developed to basically organize data and other types of entities.
I am no expert in this area, but the ILC seems to be the most appropriate because it derives its facets from the real world rather than creating artificial categories, such as the DDC. Mono-hierarchic classifications such as the DDC are generally not appropriate because they force an entity to be placed in exactly position in the hierarchy. But often things match criteria of different categories (e.g. Digital Humanities). Besides classifications, scientific disciplines tend to do that as well. For those reasons I don't see them fit to organize GFO-based content at all.
