LEI Common Data File Formate

Level 1-Daten: LEI-CDF Format 3.1



Die bisher in den Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)- Referenzdaten enthaltenen Visitenkartendaten, wie z. B. der offizielle Name eines Rechtsträgers und sein registrierter Gesellschaftssitz, werden als Level 1-Daten bezeichnet. Sie geben Antwort auf die Frage „Wer ist wer?“.

Das LEI-Common Data File (CDF) Format definiert die Vorgaben für die Meldung von LEIs und Level 1-Referenzdaten durch LEI-Vergabestellen.

Im November 2016 veröffentlichte GLEIF das anfängliche LEI-CDF Format Version 1.0. Im Mai 2017 veröffentlichte GLEIF das LEI-CDF Format Version 2.1 und im Mai 2021 das LEI-CDF Format Version 3.1. Die mit Version 3.1 eingeführten Änderungen im Vergleich zum LEI-CDF Format Version 2.1 basieren auf den ROC-Richtlinien „Legal Entity Events (ehemals „Unternehmensmaßnahmen“) und Datenhistorie im Global LEI System“ und „Leitfaden zur LEI-Berechtigung für allgemeine staatliche Stellen“. Die entsprechende XML-Schemadefinition und das Release-Notes-Dokument können unten auf dieser Seite heruntergeladen werden.

Das untenstehende Diagramm veranschaulicht die Struktur des LEI-CDF Formats Version 3.1, einschließlich der Definitionen der bereitzustellenden Dateninhalte.
