Business identifier metadata
Public:Business identifier metadata
Managed reference data for business identifiers used to uniquely identify legal entities, establishments, and other organization types across jurisdictions.
Description
This reference data defines and maintains standardized information about national and international business identifiers, including their formats, and issuing authorities. It provides metadata on how identifiers are structured, derived, and verified, supporting interoperability between different registration systems and datasets. The collection includes definitions for identifier types (such as VAT, LEI, or trade register numbers), formalized derivation rules, and schema definitions for parsing and validation.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DR_0001: EU_VAT_ID_FR → FR_SIREN | The last 9 digits of the European value added tax identifier (France) equal the SIREN number (France) | FR (France) | EU_VAT_ID_FR (Value added tax identification number) | FR_SIREN (National business identifier) | Identifier derivation | |
