Greetings -- The chapter of my book, Introduction to AmiBroker, that describes installation of databases includes a section on installing Norgate Premium Data. That chapter is a free download at the book's website: http://www.introductiontoamibroker.com/book.html Scroll down a little and click the "installation" link. You will be getting a 1.7MB pdf file. I use Norgate Premium Data for End of Day data, and like it.
I have written a paper, "Use of Fundamental Data in Active Investing" that has a section about the GICS codes. You can download that paper, free, from this web page: http://www.introductiontoamibroker.com/activities.html It is the second entry in the "Writing" section.
