Open Ownership’s partnership with the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation
Technical details
To achieve the new integration, OO leveraged an existing mapping partnership between the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) and OpenCorporates databases, to extend LEI mapping to its own datasets. LEIs are now embedded into OO data records where entities have both an OpenCorporates ID and an LEI.
As of September 2023, OO uses these tools to republish data from national registers in Denmark, Slovakia, and the United Kingdom. These datasets are made searchable via the Open Ownership Register, where users can download the BODS JSON files for individual entities or beneficial owners as well as being able to download a combined file containing all the data in the register. Currently, there are more than 145,000 entities with LEIs mapped in the BODS datasets.
