Commercial link?[edit]

It's not clear to me that "I.R.I.S.® - Institute for Resource Information Systems (TM/SM)" is a research institute as are listed in this article. Is this a commercial link? Please add reliable source(s) to validate including it here. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 20:01, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The organization's mission and vision statements may be found at this link. While there may be a social entrepreneurial dimension to its activities, it sounds primarily commercial to me. DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 11:31, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
