Overview

The Aktienführer (AKF) Knowledge Graph is free and open. It contains structured (meta)data for the German listed stock companies from the Hoppenstedt-Aktienführer from 1956 to 2018. The metadata includes official company names with time ranges, company identifiers (ISIN and WKN) and Aktienführer IDs.

We enriched metadata via entity linking with other databases: Creditreform, Bureau van Dijk Orbis, GND and Wikidata. The knowledge graph contains 342 external identifiers representing various databases, including the valuable company databases: Crefo number, BvD ID, Orbis ID, Handelsregisternummer, PM20 folder ID, European VAT number, D&B Hoovers company profile, Bloomberg company ID, ROR ID, Legal Entity Identifier (LEI), Google Knowledge Graph ID, PermID, OpenSanctions ID, LinkedIn organization ID, German Lobbyregister ID, North Data ID and OpenCorporates ID.
