Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Looking for data about company ownership network (lemmy.world)

I’m looking for a data archive of corporation ownership networks. For example, Alphabet owns Google, … and some metadata like when they are created/owned by Alphabet if possible. I was made aware of OpenCorporates but it doesn’t seem to have such data as far as I tried.

Apologies in advance if this is not an appropriate content for the community. I figured digital archivists may be aware of the existence of such archive. I couldn’t find a specific lemmy community solely for asking about data suggestions. If there’s a community better suited for this post, please let me know.

Thanks!

thanks! I was actually looking at it at some point, though I’m not sure how updated this is for lesser known corps.

I was looking at IAC and Matchgroup (aka owner of Tinder), they’re supposed to be separated but in littlesis it says IAC owns 85% stake. I’m also looking into products they own, eg Tinder, which is not available on littlesis. It’d be interesting if somehow this can Wikidata can be linked.
