Hashtags for all economic activities & functions of government in a convenient e-book

The International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities, Rev.5. (ISICr5) is a standard classification of economic activities.

The classification is managed by United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD). In the past it was provided as pdf document English, Arabic, French, Chinese, Spanish, Russia and via webpages. These webpages are no longer online.

Between 2021 and 2023 the structure of the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC) Rev. 4 has been revised following a Global Consultation. Since the beginning of 2025 the new structure is being used also in the national classifications that are based on ISIC. Hence, it will also be reflected in this wiki. A convenient overview of the revised classification is provided at #isicWW hashtags.

With the support of Wikinetix a #pdf2wiki conversion was performed during the past years, for the six languages in which UN DESA has provided the official translations English, Arabic, French, Chinese, Spanish and Russian), and also for Japanese, German, Kiswahili, Tagalog, and Illongo - These translations and the e-book Hashtags for economic activities and functions of government have not been updated yet (writing February 9, 2025).

For these wiki-versions some usability improvements were added:

  • in order to support multi-lingual debate via social media and the easy retrieval of various contributions regarding a product or service #tagcoding hashtags were added for all sections, divisions, groups and classes.
  • references to Central Product Classification classes were added
  • the ISIC class pages (and some other pages) got tagged with #cpc-codes and terms from the CPC classification such that the alphabetic hashtags for goods, services and harms (a Hashtag cloud) supports the discovery of #cpc-codes and the ISIC class that produces the service or product.

The English wiki version of the classification with #tagcoding hashtags can be accessed here: #isicWW hashtags.

A translation into additional languages is most desirable, for instances as part of a #digicoop1b - Platform for sharing digital public goods.

A #ISIC hashtag can be combined with a country code or a local government unit code (#WWlgu), for instance as illustrated at #tagcoding pivots which are also available in different languages.

The backlinks below usually do not include the child and sibling items, nor the pages in the breadcrumbs.
