| Abstract | The tremendous improvements in the field of web technologies have contributed to the accumulation of large amounts of text data, particularly in the form of websites. Among others, most businesses, smaller or bigger, present themselves to the world through their websites. Economic development analysts could make use of the information available on business websites to identify ways in which businesses in a region can be grouped together into clusters, and possibly partnership for mutual benefit, and thus for economics gains of that particular region. Automated clustering of businesses is especially useful, as the existing NAICS codes-based clustering is not very accurate, according to domain experts, and does not scale up well. Text analysis is a blooming field whose goal is to automatically extract useful information from natural language text. In this work, we perform a preliminary text analysis of business websites to build business profiles and to organize businesses into clusters. Our approach is based on representing businesses as a mixture of ``topics" using a technique called Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA). Given the business profiles represented as the topic distributions obtained with LDA, we construct preliminary clusters of businesses. Manual analysis of the results shows that the proposed approach has the potential for giving interesting and useful clusters, which have the potential to replace the existing NAICS codes-based clusters. We identify further challenges associated with the existing business data, and several ideas for future work. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
