Beneficial Ownership Data Standard risk detection

Technical details

Open Ownership’s BODS data is converted into this linked data format. This way, the BODS data can be combined with public procurement data published in line with the Open Contracting Data Standard as well as with sanctions data published by OpenSanctions using the FollowTheMoney data model and the Offshore Leaks database from the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.

The resulting data can then be queried using RDF/SPARQL (a query language used to express queries across diverse data sources) to leverage its graph nature for a series of risk and compliance use cases. Both individuals and companies can be treated as targets.
