 Jul 03, 2010 — CANADA (SUN) — A systematic review of ISKCON-related corporations and projects. Today's Cluster Report is a short one, as we map the last few corporations in our first sweep across the U.S. We once referred to this first pass as the 'low hanging fruit', which means that the particular database we've been working with has given us the ability to easily present individual directors and the connections between people. To date, we have presented more than 250 corporations and nearly 450 individuals, and this is just a surface view of the many ISKCON related entities in North America.
As we move on to the next and subsequent databases, we have some technical issues to sort out with respect to how we'll handle the data and mapping views. Without getting into too detailed a description, suffice to say that some of the databases we'll be working with provide information that the first one did not – for example, annual revenues reported by some corporations. On the other hand, not all databases will give us the nice spidered view of directors, which means we'll have to put more manual effort into mapping the clusters. We haven't yet settled on a go-forward plan, and if necessary, we may skip tomorrow's segment, continuing next week with whatever new format we've settled. More on that (or not) tomorrow.
