Industry Classification of GitHub Repositories Using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)
Researchers released NAICS-GH, a dataset of 6,588 GitHub repositories labeled with 2-digit NAICS industry codes to study open-source contributions across sectors.
- NAICS-GH is the first dataset to map GitHub repositories to standardized NAICS industry codes, covering repositories from the US, EU, and Australia.
- The dataset includes 6,588 repositories labeled with 2-digit NAICS codes from the 2022 classification system.
- Researchers can now study open-source innovation, industrial composition, and technology diffusion across sectors using GitHub data.
- The dataset is publicly available and aims to support empirical work in economics, innovation studies, and software engineering.
A team of researchers has published NAICS-GH, a first-of-its-kind dataset that assigns North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes to 6,588 GitHub repositories. The corpus spans repositories from the United States, European Union, and Australia, covering a wide range of industries. Each repository is labeled with a 2-digit NAICS code from the 2022 classification system, providing a standardized way to analyze open-source software production by sector.
The lack of native industry classification on GitHub has long hindered empirical studies on the geography of innovation, the industrial makeup of open-source development, and how new technologies spread across economic sectors. NAICS-GH fills this gap by enabling researchers to examine patterns in open-source contributions, identify sector-specific trends, and assess the role of public repositories in technological diffusion. The dataset is publicly available and designed to support reproducible research in economics, innovation studies, and software engineering.
