I wondered if anyone else is actively working on fleshing out the
company data within Wikidata?
Is
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Companies/Properties
the best reference guide?
Looking to chat, on- or off-list, with interested people, hear about
academic research being done, challenges you are facing, etc. Even set
up a meetup if there is anyone in or near London.
As background we're organizing (paying) some people to improve the
quantity and quality in a couple of areas (*), with the ulterior motive
of reaching a critical mass, so the information becomes useful and other
users or even the companies themselves start maintaining it.
Some of the above page is still vague, and the examples are simple. We
want to be able to cope with complex business structures, joint-venture
child companies, companies in multiple industries, with many brands and
products, etc.

*: Not coincidentally, areas that are useful to a couple of our clients.
