Data dictionary JSON

In this reference you'll find detailed explanations of the data model used by OpenSanctions, including the used entity types and their respective properties.

Entities

OpenSanctions collects data about real-world entities, such as people, companies, sanctions and addresses, but also the relationships between them. In order to process that data, it is internally converted into an object graph that is defined below. Different exporters then might simplify the data for end-users.

The data model used by OpenSanctions is FollowTheMoney, an ontology used in anti-corruption data analysis - in particular by the OpenAleph data platform. Only a subset of the entity types defined in FtM are used by OpenSanctions.

Developer note: All of the information detailed below is also available in the JSON model file for OpenSanctions. FollowTheMoney additionally provides libraries for Python, Java and TypeScript that can be used to process and analyse entities more easily.

Schema types

All entities in OpenSanctions must conform to a schema, a definition that states what properties they are allowed to have. Some properties also allow entities to reference other entities, turning the entities into a graph. Read more about the entity graph...

The following schema types are currently referenced in OpenSanctions:

`Position`

A post, role or position within an organization or body. This describes a position one or more people may occupy and not the occupation of the post by a specific individual at a specific point in time. 'subnationalArea' should be used to further restrict the scope of the position. It should not simply represent some regional aspect of the role - e.g. the constituency of a national member of parliament - when their legislative jurisdiction is nationwide.
