Summary
Open Ownership recently undertook a major piece of research to understand the experiences of those who use beneficial ownership data. We found that although most people have fairly similar needs, these are not being adequately met by existing beneficial ownership registers.
In this working paper, we outline 22 features that we believe make beneficial ownership data more usable – and therefore more useful – especially when it comes to interpreting it and connecting it to other data. This paper outlines 1) how we reached this list of features, and 2) the features themselves.
This is a first draft of the framework, and it is likely to evolve over time. Based on our experiences and those of our partners and other interested parties, we will consider whether there is value in building out this framework by adding further information and recommendations.
