I spoke to Chris Taggart (Open Corporates) very briefly and in passing
about this at OKFest. My knowledge is imperfect, but as I understand it
part of Open Corporates is about identifying when two (different) entities
are the same - as well as trying to chase up the chain to identify if one
body actually owns another.

He was interested in what we were doing. Would it be worth someone talking
to him directly?
