Eurostat governs the EuroGroups Register (EGR), the statistical business register of multinational enterprise groups (MNEs) in the European Union and EFTA countries. Sources of information such as crowdsourcing platforms, web crawling and different open data projects are seen as further opportunities to increase the quality of the EGR, its completeness and accuracy namely with the units outside of the EU and EFTA as well as on the whole group level. Under the umbrella of Eurostat BIG DATA project, the EGR Team is investigating these additional data sources. Eurostat is collaborating with Leipzig University to explore the possibility of using DBpedia as new additional source of data of multinational enterprise groups. EGR Team and Leipzig University carried out a Prove of concept (PoC) to automatize at a large extend the collection of aggregated group figures using as input the names of the enterprise groups.
