Dataset Card for 13M+ Website Domains with Industry Labels

This dataset contains over 12 million website domain URLs mapped to their associated industry categories.
It is useful for domain classification, industry prediction, NLP preprocessing, clustering, and machine learning research.

This dataset card has been generated based on the Hugging Face dataset card template.

Dataset Details

Dataset Description

Curated by: Satyam Mishra
Funded by [optional]: None
Shared by: Kaggle DOI
Language(s) (NLP): URLs (not language-specific, but linked industries are primarily English labels)
License: Research and educational use only

The dataset has two columns:

website: Domain URL (cleaned, no DNS tags)
industry: Associated industry or category (with ~5% null values)

Dataset Sources

Repository: Kaggle Dataset
Paper [optional]: N/A
Demo [optional]: N/A

Uses

Direct Use

This dataset can be used for:

Training and evaluating domain → industry classifiers
NLP preprocessing for URL/domain-related models
Business intelligence (e.g., mapping company presence across industries)
Clustering & categorization of domains

Out-of-Scope Use

Misuse for phishing detection or malicious targeting of industries
Commercial exploitation of the dataset beyond research/educational purposes
Inference of sensitive or personal data (none exists in the dataset)

Dataset Structure

The dataset consists of a single table with 13,642,052 rows and two fields:

website: Cleaned domain URL
industry: Associated industry or category (nullable, ~5% missing values)

Example:

{
  "website": "example.com",
  "industry": "Technology"
}

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

The motivation was to create one of the largest open datasets mapping web domains to industries for advancing research in web classification, NLP, and ML-driven categorization.

Source Data

Data Collection and Processing

Scraping — Website URLs were collected from publicly available internet sources.
Cleaning — DNS tags and non-relevant parts were removed.
Industry Mapping — Mapped via metadata, keywords, and context.
Final Dataset — Consolidated into two columns (website, industry).

Who are the source data producers?

The data comes from publicly available websites.
No private or proprietary datasets were used.

Annotations [optional]

Annotation Process

Industries were mapped using rule-based and contextual matching techniques.

Who are the annotators?

The dataset was created and curated by the author (Satyam Mishra).

Personal and Sensitive Information

No personal, sensitive, or private data is included.
Dataset consists only of publicly available domains and general industry categories.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

~5% missing values in the industry column.
Some industries may be ambiguous or mislabeled due to heuristic mapping.
Domains without clear metadata may not have precise industry labels.

Recommendations

Users should clean and validate industries before downstream ML tasks.
Consider re-labeling ambiguous or null industry entries with custom classification.
Dataset is best suited for research and educational purposes.
