== Goals ==

* Make Wikidata a relevant company data repository, with rich, accurate, and very well referenced data, starting first by covering ''all'' of the worlds largest companies, then adding ''most'' midsize companies (going down to about 20 people minimum), and finally by adding ''many'' smaller companies, over the longer term.   
* Ensure data quality to enable reuse. This incudes the accuracy of the data itself, the reference(s) to where it was sourced from, and the technical standard under which the data were produced. All instances of actual company data must have the source referenced. 
* Wikidata is already used "live" in several wikipedias making integrity paramount:
** [[:fr:Modèle:Infobox Entreprise|French Infobox Company]] already uses Wikidata for all items
** [[:cs:Šablona:Infobox - firma|Czech Infobox Company]] already uses Wikidata for most of items
** [[:ca:Plantilla:Infotaula d'organització|Catalan]] already uses Wikidata for all items
** [[:nb:Mal:Infoboks firma|Norwegian bokmål Infobox Company]] already uses Wikidata for all items
* Transfer industry classification currently done by categories to Wikidata
** Or adjust various WikiPedia industry classifications (accomplished by tagging a specific company page to a category indicating industry) to conform to the main industry classification scheme adopted here at WikiData (see more below).
* Develop a controlled dictionary for {{P|452}} (currently [https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?language=wikidata&project=wikimedia&ns%5B0%5D=1&sparql=SELECT%20%3Fitem%20WHERE%20%7B%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP31%20wd%3AQ268592%20%7D&common_wiki=wikidata&interface_language={{int:lang}}&active_tab=tab_other_sources&doit= 300+] industries are used)
