Dear all, The Task Force for Global Financial Integrity & Economic Development is consulting on a proposal to develop a Financial Integrity Index. This would set out a global ranking of jurisdictions based on four related components: national (and sub-national) budget processes, the corporate sector in regard to beneficial ownership and in regard to international cooperation and exchange of information. The Index would draw on multiple datasets covering the 4 themes, using a range of evidence to create a ranking of jurisdictions at both individual thematic and overall levels, offering a credible assessment of performance on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, and of international performance on each aspect. This project begs for use of linked data and semantic web technologies, and I am seriously considering recommending this to them. Since in this new emerging field ICT tools are limited to modeling and metrics at the most, I am looking for work done on information extraction, tagging and creating ontologies for the fields of finance, economics, accounting and law, all as they relate to financial integrity, control and monitoring of legislation. I have attached the proposal received from the Task force for those interested. The Financial Integrity Index could become a key tool in the fight against illicit flows of money, international organized crime,money laundering and the fight against terrorism. This being a high profile area of governmental interest it could provide another real push for the use of linked data and thus the semantic web.
