[Apologies for cross-posting]

Dear all,
this message is part announcement of an open data initiative and part call for feedback and support.

We are considering to work on creating a free, open and interoperable dataset on companies and organisations, which we are planing to integrate into DBpedia+ and offer as dump download. As we are in a very early phase of the endeavour, we would like to know whether there is existing work in this area.

We are looking for any available datasets which have information about companies and other organizations in any language and any country. Ideally, the datasets are:
1. downloadable as dump
2. openly licensed , e.g. CC-BY following the http://opendefinition.org/
3. in an easily parseable format, e.g. RDF or CSV and not PDF

But hey! Send around anything you know, and we will look at it and see whether we can make use of it. You can reach us either by replying to this email or send feedback directly to me and Kay Müller <kay.muel...@informatik.uni-leipzig.de>. If you have any private/closed data, please contact us as well. We might make use of it to cross-reference and validate public/open data with it. Or just learn from it to build a good scheme.

We started a link collection here (and attached the current status at the end of this email)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IaWSSt4_SZVhypvB1QzBlCtBuMQHv-q5Ti0n8xoZFIQ/edit
Also we started to collect potential identifiers for linking here:

Regards and thank you for any support on this,
Sebastian and Kay
