Colombian Economic Activity Catalog with CIIU Codes

A Colombian catalog consolidating economic activities, each identified by a unique ID, a standardized CIIU code, and a functional description. The dataset is structured based on the integration and adaptation of economic activity catalogs published by DANE and DIAN. It was last updated on 2026-05-18 and is available via the datos.gov.co portal.

Use Cases

• Classifying business entities by economic sector using the `code` and `description` columns.
• Mapping and standardizing internal company data to official CIIU codes using the `code` and `id` columns.
• Filtering for active or inactive economic activity categories using the `status` column for data cleaning.
• Tracking changes in economic classification over time by comparing records from different `version` identifiers.

Strengths

• Based on official Colombian sources (DANE and DIAN), suggesting authoritative classification.
• Provides a unique identifier (`id`) and a standardized code (`code`) for unambiguous reference.
• Available in multiple machine-readable formats (CSV, JSON, XML, RDF).

Limitations

• Row count and total size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale projects.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and completeness require manual inspection after download.
