Capitalise industry labels, drop LinkedIn and sparse social columns

Browse files

Industry now uses standard casing. LinkedIn URL and the five columns populated for under 1% of rows are removed. Card links to stackscan.com reduced to citation, attribution and contact.

- This dataset records which of 36,120 large organizations publish SPF and DMARC records on their primary domain, with firmographic context for each: industry, employee band, country, locality, founding year and LinkedIn profile.
73
 
74
  SPF lists the servers allowed to send mail for a domain. DMARC tells receiving servers what to do with mail that fails that check, and where to send reports. A domain with SPF but no DMARC has published the list without publishing an instruction, so receivers are left to decide for themselves.
