Hi Thad,
It is a really great project, I quote some of the points of Sebastian:
- # regarding Opencorporates *>* I have a critical opinion with
Opencorporates. It appears to be *>* open, but you actually can not get the data. If somebody has a *>* data dump, please forward to me. Thanks. *
- More on top, I consider Opencorporates a danger to open data. It *>*
appears to push open availability of data, but then it is limited *>* to open licenses. Usefulness is limited as there are no free dumps *>* and no possibility to duplicate it effectlively. Wikipedia and *>* Wikidata provide dumps and an API for exactly this reason. *>* Everytime somebody wants to create an open organisation dataset *>* with no barriers, the existence of Opencorporates is blocking this.*
I think that having the possibility to make an analysis on bulk is important.
Some data in opencorporates are incomplete - like founders, capital raised, investors, despite some info is fed from users. Currently most data is about US and NZ, Id like t see EU more represented.
I would like to have possibility to visualise a network of companies and their participations. And build bypartite graphs between personas and companies. I will try to reach them, about cooperation for such a project.
Do you have connections with them?
