Thomson Reuters - Organizations PermID

Data has more potential value when it can be shared or opened. It can be used by a number of different stakeholders and partners, within or outside an organization, for a variety of applications to gain new analytical insight and to build new products and services. And in order to effectively use data, it’s important to understand how it connects to the real world. That’s why Thomson Reuters is making available its Permanent Identifiers, or PermIDs, and the associated entity masters and metadata to the market. PermIDs are open, permanent and universal identifiers where underlying attributes capture the context of the identity they each represent.
