Modeling and publishing French business register (SIRENE) data as linked data using the EubusinessGraph ontology

Sirene is the official database of French enterprises (legal units) and establishments (local units). In response to the SemStats 2019 Call for Challenge to model and provision the Sirene data as RDF, we propose the use of the euBusinessGraph ontology as a basis for modeling and publishing Sirene data as Linked Data. In this paper we discuss the suitability of the euBusinessGraph ontology to cover key Sirene entities, present extensions to the euBusinessGraph ontology developed to accommodate the modelling needs of the Sirene key entities. Furthermore, we describe the Linked Data publication process, covering the needed Sirene data transformations and RDFization, as well as the technology stack supporting the process. The result is key entities data from Sirene published as Linked Data, together with a reproducible process for generation of Linked Data from Sirene data.
