Why we built it this way

Classic industry codes do not separate what investors separate.

The taxonomy therefore grows out of the descriptions actually in use and is condensed into themes — not out of a predetermined list that reality then has to be filed into.

Improvements

Three levels instead of one flat keyword list
Multilingual keyword resolution
