A wide variety of taxonomies is in use, sponsored by different organizations and based on different criteria. [1] 1The NAICS Index File [2] lists 19745 rubrics beyond the 6 digits which are not assigned codes. Besides the widely used taxonomies above, there are also more specialized proprietary systems: * FactSet's Revere, line-of-business, about 11,000 leaf nodes, acquired in 2013 [3] * IndustryBuildingBlocks, line-of-business about 15,000 leaf nodes * First Research taxonomy, used by Hoover's [4]
