Fields

What's in it

The organizations file's columns that need explaining; the others say what they are.

slug: The organization's id on the map; its profile is at /c/{slug} or /orgs/{slug}
kind: company, accelerator, investor, coworking, university_research, government_program or community_group
sectors: Sector slugs, the main one first, separated by semicolons
status: active, acquired, closed or unknown
location_precision: exact (a street address), building (a shared building) or area (a neighbourhood or municipality)
address: Only for exact and building precision: a commercial office, never a home
longitude, latitude: The address's pin, or the official centroid of the neighbourhood or municipality for area precision
coordinates: What the point is: address, building, neighbourhood centroid or municipality centroid
connected_to: Slugs of the programs, funds, universities and networks it's linked to (relationships.csv has how)
hiring: true while its public job board has open roles or its owner says so; empty when unknown
verification: unverified, community_verified, company_claimed or admin_verified

Left out, because they aren't ours to license: the descriptions and one-liners quoted from organizations' own sites, and their logos. Contact addresses and review notes are never published.
