Andy, (cc. OC)
Thanks for the idea! If Open Corporates offered this linkset to DBpedia, it
would be a nice candidate for featuring in the next release of the LOD Cloud
Diagram (http://www4.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/lodcloud/state/).

I feel this would have good impact on their adoption, and could be easily
achieved by creating a simple Silk Link Spec (maybe as easy as comparing
company name and address) and running one of the Silk versions (
http://www4.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/bizer/silk/) to link it to DBpedia.

A link to a download file of this linkset could then be entered in CKAN (
http://ckan.net/package/opencorporates) et voilĂ !

Is OC interested in that?
Any volunteers from this list for helping OC achieve that?

Cheers,
Pablo

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
