Ontology for legal entity identifier registration. It was designed for Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) Level 1 data corresponding to the Common Data Format version 2.1. It covers key reference data for a legal entity identifiable with an LEI. The ISO 17442 standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization defines a set of attributes or LEI reference data that comprises the most essential elements of identification. It specifies the minimum reference data, which must be supplied for each LEI: The official name of the legal entity as recorded in the official registers. The registered address of that legal entity. The country of formation. The codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions. The date of the first LEI assignment; the date of last update of the LEI information; and the date of expiry, if applicable. 2019-02-01T00:00:00+00:00 https://www.gleif.org/en/meta/lei-data-terms-of-use/ Copyright (c) 2019 Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) https://www.gleif.org/en/about-lei/common-data-file-format/lei-cdf-format/lei-cdf-format-version-2-1 Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation Level 1 Ontology - Who Is Who gleif-L1 https://www.gleif.org/ontology/L1/ GLEIF L1 Ontology has alternative language headquarters address Address of the headquarters of the entity, in an alternative language used in the legal jurisdiction. has alternative language legal address Registered address of the entity in the legal jurisdiction, in analternative language used in the legal jurisdiction. has associated entity Another entity associated with this entity if needed to fully identify this entity or to place it in an appropriate context. has auto ASCII transliterated headquarters address Auto transliterated headquarters address for the legal entity. has auto ASCII transliterated legal address Auto transliterated legal address for the legal entity. has fund family The entity that is the manager of the fund. has headquarters address The primary address of the headquarters of the Entity. has legal address The primary legal address of the entity as recorded in the registration of the entity in its legal jurisdiction. has legal form The legal form of the entity, taken from the ISO 20275 Entity Legal Form (ELF) data set maintained by GLEIF. has managing LOU The LOU that is responsible for administering this LEI registration. has other addresses An optional list of other addresses for the legal entity, excluding transliterations. has other validation identifier has additional validation identifier An optional list of additional registrations used by the LEI Issuer to validate the entity data. has other validation identifier has preferred ASCII transliterated headquarters address Preferred transliterated headquarters address for the legal entity. has preferred ASCII transliterated legal address Preferred transliterated legal address for the legal entity. has registered authority The reference of the registration authority, taken from the Registration Authorities Code List (RAL) maintained by GLEIF. has registration identifier has business register entity ID has registration authority An identifier for the legal entity in a business registry in the jurisdiction of legal registration, or in the appropriate registration authority. has registration identifier has transliterated headquarters address A transliterated headquarters address for the legal entity. has transliterated legal address A transliterated legal address for the legal entity. has transliterated other addresses An optional list of transliterated addresses for the legal entity. has validation identifier has validation authority The (primary) registration used by the LOU to validate the entity data. has validation identifier has validation sources The level of validation of the reference data provided by the registrant. identifies and records The legal entity that is recorded by this registry entry and identified by the LEI.

Global Legal Entity Identifier System ANNULLED annulled An LEI registration that was marked as erroneous or invalid after it was issued. DUPLICATE duplicate An LEI Registration that has been determined to be a duplicate registration of the same legal entity as another LEI Registration; the DUPLICATE status is assigned to the non-surviving registration (i.e. the LEI that should no longer be used).

ENTITY_SUPPLIED_ONLY entity supplied only Based on the validation procedures in use by the LOU responsible for the record, the information associated with this record has significant reliance on the information that a submitter provided due to the unavailability of corroborating information. FULLY_CORROBORATED fully corroborated Based on the validation procedures in use by the LOU responsible for the record, there is sufficient information contained in authoritative public sources to corroborate the information that the submitter has provided for the record. PARTIALLY_CORROBORATED partially corroborated Based on the validation procedures in use by the LOU responsible for the record, the information supplied by the registrant can be partially corroborated by public authoritative sources, while some of the record is dependent upon the information that the registrant submitted, either due to conflicts with authoritative information, or due to data unavailability.
