3. Intelligent Database Systems Lab Motivation IDs are traditionally identified by indexes which measure the physical concentration of firms belonging to a given industry, but are unable to seize the overall productive structure of the local economy.

4. Intelligent Database Systems Lab Objectives The methodology can be applied to different sizes of economic regions, to different industries and at different levels of industry classification. The topological clustering provided by the SOM is able to define industrial patterns and also can measure the relative relevance of a given industry with Component Planes.
