A Frameworks Framing
Open corporate data in Wikirate through the lens of standards
Wikirate.org is the largest open-source open-data registry of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) data about companies. The project, “A Frameworks Framing: Open Corporate data through the lens of standards”, aims to enhance Wikirate.org by integrating ESG standards and frameworks as key navigational and analytical tools. The enhancements will make it easy for diverse stakeholders – such as researchers, CSOs and investors – to navigate the many existing frameworks conceived to organize ESG data. It can be very difficult to wrap one’s head around any single ESG framework, much less to see how all the frameworks interrelate. There is, however, quite a lot of interrelation. Frameworks end up needing the answers to overlapping questions (or, in Wikirate terms, metrics). The functionality developed in this grant will enable users to see how Wikirate metrics and datasets align with one or more frameworks. The project will facilitate better understanding and use of corporate data for stakeholders by streamlining the organization of ESG topics, advancing open standards, and making frameworks central to exploring metrics.
