Abstract
A system and methods for automatically assigning of classification codes to a business based on information about the business collected from the Internet are provided in which data extracted from trawling the Internet is compared to a node structure based on a taxonomy of a selected business classification code system.
Claims15
A system for automatically assigning a business classification code to a company, comprising:
- a web data collection program configured to trawl the Internet, locate and extract data relevant to the company;
- a business classification analysis program configured to generate a node structure corresponding to a selected business classification code system and to compute a taxonomy word histogram based on the node structure;
- a web data analysis program configured to generate an extracted word histogram corresponding to the presence of selected data elements within the extracted data relevant to the company;
- a business classification code assignment program configured to determine a first list of matches for the business classification code for the company by comparing a normalized scalar product of the taxonomy word histogram and the extracted word histogram to a predetermined threshold.
