Sector and Sub-Sector Standardization
Another challenge we aim to solve using these techniques is the Sector and Sub-Sector standardization. The data is collected from a comprehensive list of sources. Each source may define its sector and sub-sector conforming to one of the below economic classification standards or creating a new one. A standard needs to be maintained on compilation while identifying these projects and tenders for consistency and uniformity across the platform. Therefore, we aim to make use of keyword extraction and Named Entity Recognition (NER) to transpile the source’s segregations to our own.
Some of the standards we have looked into and studied:
- International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC)
- Different update frequencies
- North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)
- https://simap.ted.europa.eu/cpv- European Union
- Custom-designed or derived
- WorldBank Projects
- Asian Development Bank Projects
- African Development Bank Projects
- International Financial Corporation Projects
- InfraPPPWorld
- Dodge - Data and Analytics
