The Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) is tasked with supporting the implementation and use of the_Legal Entity Identifier (LEI). GLEIF “enables smarter, less costly and more reliable decisions about who to do business with” by providing “open, standardised and high quality legal entity reference data” to uniquely identify companies. This open data includes its Level 2 Data on who owns whom.
The corporate ownership data collected and published openly by GLEIF is not beneficial ownership data as it does not identify the natural persons at the end of ownership chains but Open Ownership has mapped a combination of Level 1 and Level 2 Data to version 0.2 of our Beneficial Ownership Data Standard in order to analyse and learn more from layering this data on top of beneficial ownership data sources.
We have published a data use guide with information about how we have represented change over time and how specific fields have been mapped. Our blog post about updating this mapping shares some of our learnings from this work, including particular challenges of mapping to BODS 0.2.
You can see how Open Ownership has ingested, mapped and transformed this data in line with the Beneficial Ownership Data Standard. These mappings are currently a work in progress and should be treated with caution. This dataset is published under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication licence.
