The Office of Financial Research (OFR) requires corporate hierarchy/ownership tree data, which contains hierarchical ownership constructs distinguishing linkages and relationships that exist between a target entity and related entities based on parentage, subsidiaries and affiliations. The primary source of the data must not only be data obtained through the National Information Center Database (NIC), but also must include data on finance companies that have activities that resemble those of bank holding companies and specifically entities that are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The data must minimally include: Data built from public sources and include corporate hierarchy information where such information exists and is available. Data must provide hierarchy relationships based on very fine degrees of ownership, with the ability to determine controlling ownership positions as stipulated by the Bank Holding Company Act (25.0%) and go down to a more granular level when the information is available. The corporate hierarchy information must include, but not limited to: Relationship details (e.g., wholly owned subsidiary, ownership percentage, affiliate etc.); Industry Classification; Ownership linkage/trees traced to subsidiaries, affiliates, parent, ultimate parent, etc. There should be a minimum of 30 million companies in the dataset; The data should have a minimum of a 5-year history for Bank Holding Companies; Data must be publicly available with no licensing constraints; For the entity identifier used to create hierarchy associations, the data must include the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI), based on the ISO 17442:2012 standard, for companies that have a registered LEI as of February 1, 2014; The data must be delivered in a format conducive to integration using graph database technologies and be compatible with a Neo4j graph database; Data maintenance and support services, including necessary training for OFR staff regarding accessing, manipulating and transforming the data as they see fit (i.e., helpdesk function).
