A very happy 9 years to our partners @360Giving! 🎈

Here's to many more years of making grantmaking more informed, effective and strategic

[360Giving @360Giving]

360Giving is 9 years old today! 🎂
With the launch of https://t.co/neXykKGnbJ, it's a perfect time to celebrate how far we've come – and to thank the supporters who were with us from the start of our journey to helping grantmaking become more informed, effective and strategic.

[Open Ownership @OpenOwnership]

Kadie also shared an insight from the journey of creating and updating BODS:

"I have learnt, which may be surprising, that designing a data standard as much an art as it is a science."

Kadie Armstrong @opendatacoop outlines the new features of v0.4 of the Beneficial Ownership Data Standard at our launch event today.

"We can now represent all types of corporate vehicle. It also captures how beneficial ownership changes as time goes on."

[Open Data Services @opendatacoop]

🚀 Big news! Together with @OpenOwnership, we've released version 0.4 of the Beneficial Ownership Data Standard!

This milestone means BODS can now represent who owns, controls or benefits from all types of corporate vehicles, and captures how ownership changes over time.

[Stephen Abbott Pugh @stephen_abbott]

Today @OpenOwnership + @opendatacoop have released version 0.4 of the Beneficial Ownership Data Standard, an open standard which helps anyone generate adequate, accurate and up-to-date data about who owns, controls or benefits from corporate vehicles https://t.co/R28qF3HZaH

When beneficial data is structured and standardised, it's easier to find red flags that can pave the way for thorough investigations.

We've worked with @OpenOwnership to showcase how to write queries to spot red flags in BODS datasets.

👇

[Open Ownership @OpenOwnership]

How can public #BeneficialOwnership data help us identify "red flags"?

This blog post outlines one of the key benefits of improving the quality of beneficial ownership data: bulk analysis to find patterns or “red flags”.
