Is there any RDF dump available of OpenCorporates data? Or even any dump at all? Their licensing terms are ambiguous... They say it's released under ODbL, but if I want to use the data I have to ask permission and they will decide if I can use it for free or if I have to pay a fee :/

Sure there are parallel strategies but any effort should also include OpenCorporates to some degree. OpenCorporates is licensed under ODbL (just added this referenced statement to Q7095760) and we have property P1320 to link Wikidata and OpenCorporates. A first step would be to align https://opencorporates.com/registers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_company_registers Right now we have 18 instances of company register (Q1394657) and its subclasses explicitly classified as such in Wikidata. These items should be linked with the registers listed at OpenCorporates, e.g. UK Companies House (Q257303) = https://opencorporates.com/registers/270[https://opencorporates.com/registers/270] I've also noticed that OpenCorporates has a field for "Identifiers" where Wikidata QIDs may be included to have two-way-links between the two datasets. Anyway, better contact https://opencorporates.com/info/contributing[https://opencorporates.com/info/contributing] at least to let them know about your plans.
