Data type	String
Domain	nonprofit organization (Q163740)
Allowed values	max 5 numbers (groups 1 to 12, subgroups 1 000 to 12 100)

Planned use	Systemising non-profit organisations, analogue to International Standard Industrial Classification code Rev.4 (P1796). Every industry (P452) used for non-profits should be a subgroup of one of these categories.
Number of IDs in source	42
See also	International Standard Industrial Classification code Rev.4 (P1796)

Currently, non-profits are basically not systematised in wikidata. A lot is done via instance of (P31) with loads of problems (see Data Modelling Days 2023). This could be solved by consequently using industry (P452). To make this comparable and usable outside of wikidata, the sectors need a systematic approach. ICNPO is the most compatible to International Standard Industrial Classification code Rev.4 (P1796) used for the profit sector. The UN even provides a correlation-table for both classifications. --Newt713 (talk) 08:55, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support Although small, it's important.
- Confirming what is written above, the source is https://unstats.un.org/unsd/publication/seriesf/seriesf_91e.pdf:
  - Table T3.2 ICNPO: groups and subgroups
  - ANNEX A1 International Classification of Non-Profit Organizations: detailed table
  - Table T3.3 Correlation of ICNPO and ISIC, Rev. 3 (International Standard Industrial Classification)
  - Table T3.4 Correlation of ICNPO and COPNI (Classification of the Purposes of NonProfit Institutions Serving Households)
- Don't we also need a property for COPNI? --Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 11:58, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes to COPNI. How would you handle the correlation of two classifications? Most people enter just any kind of industry. If there's only one, it would be more cohesive. Would you subclass the correlations? --Newt713 (talk) 09:35, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Newt713, Vladimir Alexiev: Done as International Classification of Nonprofit Organizations (P12574). Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 06:49, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
