[Bigbang-dev] Testing inductively derived working group/org categories

[Niels ten Oever]

Hi Seb, 

This is meaningful. It is a mix of affiliations/institutions and working groups and areas (the parts of the IETF working groups belong to). Would you like me to categorize which are which? One way to clean this up would be to take a list of all workinggroups (same names as mailinglists!) and subtract that from this corpus.

Happy to discuss!

Best,

Niels
