Re: dpvcg-ACTION-48: Look into classifications of organisations that could serve as a basis for clsssifying data controllers

Hello all.
Other than the distinction between Controller and Processor, I could not 
find much usable categorisation beyond what we discussed in terms of 
domains for purpose.
Regardless, below is a gist of what I have collected so far.
Other than these, I think there can be more practical categorisation of 
processors in terms of what they provide to the data controller - e.g. 
infrastructure provider, data cruncher (analysis), advertiser, 
financial, security, etc.
