You need to know who you’re doing business with
And the identifier needs to be non-proprietary, reusable, transparent, and useful
FAIL!
There are alternatives
Financial Stability Board global LEIs
OpenCorporates URIs
Using existing identifiers... intelligently
A new identifier system... if it’s done right
