Companies with an LEI: 100k Stratified Sample

A sample of 100,000 organisations that hold a Legal Entity Identifier (LEI), drawn from every country in the graph. One row per LEI, any status. Where a national register holds the same company, the row carries the register's record with the LEI added. It suits testing entity-matching code, checking LEI coverage by country, or trying the data before a bulk lookup.

Organisations only. The data is copied from official open company registers and, where we found evidence, joined to each company's own website. It holds no officers, directors, owners, shareholders or other people, and no email addresses or phone numbers.

• Rows: 100,000
• Built from the Open Company Graph bulk export of 2026-11 (registers last read 2026-11-04).
• Files: companies-with-lei-sample.parquet (zstd) and companies-with-lei-sample.csv hold the same rows, sorted by country, then id. In the CSV, list columns are JSON arrays.

website_method	VARCHAR	How the best website was matched (see "How websites were matched").

The website profile columns (technologies to profile_updated) are filled only where we have read the company's own site.

How websites were matched

A website is linked to a company only when there is evidence for it. websites_json lists every linked domain with its method, confidence (0 to 1) and, where there is one, the page that shows the evidence. A registry number printed on the company's own legal or contact page scores 0.98 when the number has a check digit (SIREN, Norwegian organisation number, LEI) and 0.95 for a UK company number. A number found on more than five unrelated sites is not used.

Method	What it means	Rows (best link)	Confidence min / median / max
wikidata-official-website	Wikidata gives this as the company's official website, on the item that carries its registry number or LEI.	702	0.90 / 0.90 / 0.90
registry-stated-website	The register itself lists this website.	431	0.97 / 0.97 / 0.97
wikidata-name-match	Wikidata gives this as the official website of an item with the same name and founding year or town.	18	0.75 / 0.80 / 0.85

Refresh

Refresh cadence: monthly (a new sample each time).

Limits

• This is a sample. Each country gets a minimum of 20 rows (or all it has), and the rest is shared in proportion to the number of LEI holders per country. Rows within a country are picked by a fixed hash of the id, so a rebuild on the same export gives the same sample.
• Names, towns and statuses are as each register writes them, including capitals and local spelling.
• A missing website means we found no evidence, not that the company has no site.
• Status wording differs between registers. active is true when the status begins with active, live, issued or registered.

Licence and attribution

The licence field says other because the rows come from several registers, each under its own open licence (CC BY 3.0 AU; CC BY 4.0; CC0 1.0; Free reuse under the EU High-Value Datasets regulation (EU) 2023/138; Licence Ouverte / Etalab 2.0; Norwegian Licence for Open Government Data (NLOD) 2.0; OPEN-NY Terms of Use; Open Government Licence v3.0; Public Data License v1.0 (CC BY 4.0 compatible); Public Domain; Singapore Open Data Licence v1.0; U.S. public domain). There is no single licence we can put on the whole set. You may reuse the data commercially under each source's terms; several ask for attribution.
