Description

The euBusinessGraph (ebg:) ontology represents companies, type/status/economic classification, addresses, identifiers, company officers (e.g., directors and CEOs), and dataset offerings.

It uses schema:domainIncludes/rangeIncludes (which are polymorphic) to describe which properties are applicable to a class, rather than rdfs:domain/range (which are monomorphic) to prescribe what classes must be applied to each node using a property. We find that this enables more flexible reuse and combination of different ontologies. We reuse the following ontologies and nomenclatures, and extend them where appropriate with classes and properties:

This is only a reference. See more detail in the EBG Semantic Model google document, which includes an informative description of classes and properties, gives examples and data provider rules, and provides more schema and instance diagrams.

Overview

The figure below gives an overview of the ontology, depicting the main classes and their relationships (i.e., object properties). The ontology covers the following areas:

Registered Organization (company)

Registered organizations are the main entities for which information is captured in the euBusinessGraph ontology. The ontology is not concerned with unregistered informal groups. Registered organizations gain legal entity status by the act of registration and are distinct from the broader concept of organizations, groups or, in some jurisdictions, sole traders. The figure below shows the classes and properties for representing core data about a registered organization.

Identifier System

Mechanisms to identify companies in various data sources are essential in integration of data about companies across data sources. A proper understanding of what kind of systems of identifiers can be used for companies is thus necessary in this context. We analyzed various types of identifiers commonly used for companies and collected various properties of the systems they are part of. We modelled identifiers and identifier systems explicitly in the ontology as shown in thew figure below.

Officer

We use the membership model of the W3C Organization Ontology in a straightforward way to represent officer data as shown in the figure below.

Dataset Descriptions

Data consumers need to know how many companies are included in a data provider dataset, from which jurisdictions, and what depth of data is included (e.g., which properties, addresses with what geo resolution, etc.). We thus need to express both metadata about the dataset itself, and fine-grained statistics about the content of a dataset, as shown in the figure below.

Identifier Systemc

URI http://data.businessgraph.io/ontology#IdentifierSystem
Is Defined By http://data.businessgraph.io/ontology#
Description

A system managed by a publisher (e.g., a register or agency) that is used to issue identifiers to entities (companies, persons, etc).

Scope Notes

Some agencies/registers keep several identifier systems; this ontology doesn't distinguish between an identifier system and its register(s)

Example
http://www.registryagency.bg keeps the systems used by The Trade Register http://brra.bg for companies, and The Bulstat Register http://www.bulstat.bg/ for other entities

Description

represents the relation between an organisation and a member of that organisation.

Scope Notes

it is acceptable to use the same Membership node for several officers, if they had exactly the same role and membership interval (e.g. in many countries the Board is appointed and discharged at the same interval, namely between AGMs of the company)

URI http://www.w3.org/ns/org#Role
Description

Denotes a role that a Person can take in an organization.

Scope Notes

Instances of this class describe the abstract role; to denote a specific instance of a person playing that role in a specific organization use an instance of org:Membership.

Super-classes skos:Conceptc
In rangeIncludes of org:roleop

Sitec

URI http://www.w3.org/ns/org#Site
Description

An office or other premise at which the organization is located. Many organizations are spread across multiple sites and many sites will host multiple locations. In most cases a Site will be a physical location. However, we don't exclude the possibility of non-physical sites such as a virtual office with an associated post box and phone reception service [org:]

Scope Notes

EBG doesn't need the distinction between org:Site and locn:Address, so we use one node having both types, and a self link org:siteAddress

In domainIncludes of org:siteAddressop
In rangeIncludes of org:hasSiteop

Officerc

URI http://www.w3.org/ns/person#Person
Description

An officer is a natural person (as opposed to a legal person) [person:] that has a high-level management role in a Company (e.g., the CEO, treasurer and chief financial officer). Despite their high status, they typically serve at the will of the corporate directors, who can fire or replace them. Officers can also be shareholders and directors but don't necessarily have to be. They have the authority to act on behalf of the corporation, including contract authority.

Registered Organizationc

URI http://www.w3.org/ns/regorg#RegisteredOrganization
Description

An organization that gains legal entity status by the act of registration. Compare to org:FormalOrganization that applies to any legal entity, including those created by other legal means. Registered organizations are distinct from the broader concept of organizations, groups or, in some jurisdictions, sole traders. Many organizations exist that are not legal entities yet to the outside world they have staff, hierarchies, locations etc. Other organizations exist that are an umbrella for several legal entities (universities are often good examples of this) [rov:]. A legal person or structure that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction [lei-elf:].

Scope Notes

Registered organizations are the main entities that euBusinessGraph works with (the project is not concerned with unregistered informal groups). The borderline between public organizations and commercial companies is not always clear-cut (a company may be partially owned by government, and e.g. Public-Private-Partnerships are a prime example), so the project may deal with some organizations that are not companies. But for brevity and convenience we often call them Companies [ebg:].

Example
Counterparties to financial transactions.

identifierop

URI http://www.w3.org/ns/adms#identifier
Description

An identifier of a Company (the official identifier is rov:registration) or Identifier System / Register

Scope Notes

For Identifier Systems, we use codes issued by euBusinessGraph. For official Identifier Systems (country registers), we use the jurisdiction code (e.g. 'BG', 'GB'). For other identifier systems, we use a short mnemonic code:

  • upper-case for company registers (e.g. 'OCORP', 'SDATI', 'RAL', 'EU', 'BRIS'),
  • mixed-case for social network registers (eg 'Twitter', 'Facebook').

This code is used as the last URL part for identifiers issued in that system.

Example
Direct: EU VAT number (in those jurisdictions where it is used as the primary company identifier), BRIS id, OCORP id.

URI http://www.w3.org/ns/regorg#orgStatus
Description

Flag that identifies whether a company is active or not [ebg:]. The operational and/or legal registration status of the entity [lei:].

Scope Notes

A Best Practice for recording status levels is to use the relevant jurisdiction's terms and to encode these in a SKOS Concept Scheme [rov:].

Example
'insolvent', 'bankrupt', 'in receivership': likely to mean slightly different things with different legal implications in different jurisdictions [rov:].

official registrationop

URI http://www.w3.org/ns/regorg#registration
Description

Identifier that holds the official company registration in its jurisdiction of registration. It establishes the legal existence of the company.

Scope Notes

EBG collects all registrations from each register and doesn't attempt to match foreign companies across jurisdictions.

Example
NO has type NUF 'Norskregistrert utenlandsk foretak'.
