The ODI (http://theodi.org) has published a research report, "Research: Open data means business" (http://theodi.org/open-data-means-business), along with a Google sheet of Open Data Companies (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xwxNIaxXSEMLktb-oo1UoYTd5WMPFkRLytRVVBr5OMA).It seemed a nice idea to map the companies and make the data accessible as 5 * Open Data at http://opendatacompanies.data.seme4.comSo we have loaded the company data into a Linked Data store with a SPARQL endpoint (http://opendatacompanies.data.seme4.com/sparql/), and made the URIs resolve, such as http://opendatacompanies.data.seme4.com/id/company/od001We have also used the UK postcodes (and OS services) to plot the companies on a map: http://opendatacompanies.data.seme4.com/services/map/There you go.This is all a little rough-and-ready, just to see what it looks like, and see if anyone wants to use it. If you do, and want any changes, please ask.Actually, if anyone wanted to produce a similar GSheet for other places, we could suck that in too.Best Hugh
Nice work!BTW -- how actually handles editing of the original spreadsheet? The information on OpenLink is really messed up. The ultimate demonstration of identity and identifiers gone very wrong. Half of the description is based on OpenLink Financials and the other half OpenLink Software :(
