IPC to OST reclassification

After last post I decided to add something of my own, by releasing a conversion table from IPC to OST (7 & 30) reclassification.
The table can be downloaded here : it's a CSV file (separated with semicolon) with an xls file containing class descriptions for 7 & 30 reclassifications.

You will find something like

M_class OST30 OST7
A01B% ; 20 ; 5
A01C% ; 20 ; 5

Where % means in SQL "anything after..."
So you may add your reclassification with an update where YOUR_IPC is like M_CLASS

At the end of the table you will find some IPC without reclassification

C99Z%
H04N101/00

But they are very few in the overall patents population (2 and 328 patents in EPO)
