# 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](https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/blob/main/src/huggingface_hub/templates/datasetcard_template.md?plain=1).

## Dataset Details
### Dataset Description
- **Curated by:** Satyam Mishra
- **Funded by [optional]:** None
- **Shared by:** [Kaggle DOI](https://doi.org/10.34740/kaggle/dsv/9734207)
- **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](https://www.kaggle.com/dsv/9734207)
- **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:
```json
{
"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**.
