A modular, strategy-driven organization profile extractor.

Project description

ORGA: Deterministic Organization Profiler

PyPI version

A fast, explainable, non-LLM extraction engine for profiling institutional websites.


🎯 What is ORGA?

ORGA is a Python-based profiling engine and microservice suite designed to autonomously navigate an organization's website and extract a highly structured JSON profile. It discovers global locations, extracts clean contact data (phones, emails, social footprints), and determines the organization's primary industry category.

Crucially, ORGA is not an LLM. It is built entirely on deterministic rules, semantic heuristics, JSON-LD parsing, and lightweight statistical Bayesian models.

⚡ Output Snapshot

A minimal example of the structured JSON output generated for a hospital website:

{
  "name": "CHEO",
  "org_type": "Hospital",
  "categories": ["Hospital", "NonProfit"],
  "locations": [
    {
      "address": {
        "raw": "401 Smyth Road, Ottawa ON K1H 8L1",
        "postal_code": "K1H 8L1",
        "city": "Ottawa"
      },
      "confidence": 0.9
    }
  ],
  "phones": [
    { "value": "+16137377600", "kind": "phone" }
  ],
  "social_links": [
    { "value": "https://facebook.com/cheokids", "kind": "social" }
  ]
}

🧠 Why No LLMs?

In an era of generative AI, why build a deterministic extractor?

  1. Extreme Speed & Cost Efficiency: ORGA processes a full organization (navigating up to 5 sub-pages like /about or /contact) in under 0.7 seconds per site. It requires negligible CPU/Memory overhead, allowing you to process 10,000 organizations for pennies rather than dollars.
  2. 100% Explainability: Every extracted phone number, every inferred category (e.g., Hospital vs. University), and every discarded link is fully traceable. The JSON payload includes a debug_info block detailing the exact CSS selector, regex match, or weighted rule path that produced the result.
  3. No Hallucinations: When ORGA fails, it fails predictably (e.g., returning an empty field). It will never invent a phone number or confidently hallucinate an office address.

✨ Core Features

  • Intelligent Discovery: Automatically finds high-value pages (/contact, /locations, /about) from a root URL.
  • Aggressive Noise Filtering: Employs suppression matrices and page-weighting to strip out UI navigation noise and generic boilerplate text.
  • Layered Classification: Identifies primary institutional types (e.g., Government, Hospital, NonProfit, InternationalOrg) using a two-tier weighted keyword and Bayesian frequency model.
  • Concurrent Microservices: Includes two Dockerized FastAPI services for real-time single-URL extraction and asynchronous batch processing.

🛑 Known Boundaries & Limitations

ORGA operates at the absolute ceiling of what rule-based extraction can achieve. You should understand its limits:

  • Good Fit: Generating a massive directory of structured contacts and primary categories for standard institutional sites (Hospitals, Universities, NGOs, Government Agencies).
  • Poor Fit: Open-world semantic reading tasks, analyzing deep PDF reports, or distinguishing nuanced corporate hierarchies (e.g., distinguishing a holding company from its subsidiary if both use identical website templates).
  • Address Parsing: While highly resilient, extracting perfect Street/City/Region splits from unstructured, conversational footers without NLP remains challenging and will occasionally result in partially_parsed raw strings.

🚀 Quickstart

1. Run the Microservices via Docker

Ensure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed.

git clone https://github.com/discretewater/orga.git
cd orga

# Start the Extractor (8000) and Job Manager (8001) services
docker compose up --build -d

2. Demo: Single Extraction

Extract a profile for the World Health Organization:

curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8000/extract" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"url": "https://www.who.int"}' | jq .

You will receive a rich JSON profile containing the WHO's global contact points, social links, and a primary classification of InternationalOrg.

3. Demo: Batch Processing

Submit multiple URLs to the async Job Manager:

# 1. Submit the Job
curl -s -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8001/jobs" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"urls": ["https://www.harvard.edu", "https://www.cheo.on.ca"]}'

# Expected output: {"job_id": "uuid-...", "status": "pending"}

# 2. Poll for Results (Replace UUID with the one from the previous step)
curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8001/jobs/{job_id}" | jq .

🏗️ Architecture Summary

  1. Fetcher: Utilizes httpx and aiolimiter to aggressively fetch HTML while respecting concurrency limits.
  2. Discoverer: Heuristically scores anchor links to branch out from the root domain into contact/about pages.
  3. Parsers: selectolax-powered extraction targeting DOM zones, JSON-LD schemas, and normalized regex patterns.
  4. Classifier: A tiered engine scoring terms across zones (<title>, <h1>, <body>) against a weighted taxonomy.
  5. Aggregator: An institution-level decider that weights page evidence, applies suppression rules (e.g., a strong "Hospital" signal suppresses weak "Association" noise), and yields the final profile.

🔮 Roadmap

ORGA M7.1 is currently in a frozen baseline state.

Future enhancements will explore adding a Lightweight Supervised Post-Calibration Model (e.g., XGBoost over debug scores) to refine category boundaries without sacrificing the speed and determinism of the core extraction layer. We will not be migrating to an LLM-first architecture.
