Description

Investigate whether there is a unified or mappable system of industry codes that can be applied across jurisdictions, including Russia (EGRUL), the UK, and the US.

Tasks:

  • Identify classification systems used in the UK, US, and internationally (e.g. SIC, NAICS, ISIC).
  • Assess whether these systems can be aligned or mapped to each other.
  • Determine if EGRUL data can be connected to these systems.
  • Outline options for a shared classification model.
