Hi Thomas. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Economics is looking to do something a bit like this. It has been moving slowly as we waited for a currency datatype to become available but that has now happened so it should start moving.
https://opencorporates.com/ is also working on something similar to this. My comments on your Volkswagen page. * Nice presentation. Looks good * No indications of where the data comes from. How do I double check this info? * English only * Are you sure the copyright to this info isn't owned by Bloomberg or Reuters or someone? Good luck Joe On Mon, Oct 19, 2015 at 5:42 PM Thomas Flassbeck <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > > [People not interested in financial data can stop reading here - this is > only indirectly related to Wikidata but I asked Lydia and John for > permission to post this so I hope you don't mind] > > > my name is Thomas and I am the co-founder of a new crowd-sourcing website > for fundamental financial data (that is our focus is clearly on finance, so > I don't think we are a "competitor" of Wikidata) called SimFin. > > > I am writing to you because we launched our open beta just two weeks ago > and we are now looking for feedback, especially from people with experience > in working in a crowd-powered-environment where data is in a structured > way, just like at Wikidata. > > > I would be especially interested in your feedback regarding the data > entering and review process, since I coded and designed the whole system > myself from scratch and tried to make the data entering process as easy as > possible. > > > Just to make it clear, all the data on our site is freely accessible and > can be exported quickly.
