Hi there- commodities is a key area - shouldn't your class Industry term
at least pick up terms like (from Wikipedia)
"Generally, these are basic resources and agricultural products such as iron ore, crude oil, coal, ethanol, salt, sugar, coffee beans, soybeans, aluminum, rice, wheat, gold and silver."
Right now it only catches crude oil. Wikipedia has many of the terms for you! Would make a big difference for us!

Hi Bob -
This is certainly a reasonable request; we'll pass it on to the development folks and see how it fits with other items on the to-do list.
Regards,
Along the same lines as the request for commodoities - what about diseases -
See text below - cholera certainly would be a quite meaningful thing to catch - both
for users in financial, government, health, and intelligence applications!
