Justification

Most larger Danish companies (i.e., companies with more than one employee) have a CVR-number that uniquely identifies the company or organization, e.g., the Danish Chapter of Wikimedia has a CVR number and the company Lundbeck (Q902171) has the number 56759913. The number can be resolved to a lookup on the Danish site cvr.dk, e.g., for Lundbeck (Q902171) it is http://cvr.dk/Site/Forms/PublicService/DisplayCompany.aspx?cvrnr=56759913. This allows for further access to headquarters address, type, branch, starting date, board members, etc. Finn Årup Nielsen (fnielsen) (talk) 13:11, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Why presently format violations?

Presently, the report "Constraint violations" mentions that all present values are wrong wrt. format, e.g., "56759913" is listed even though the regular expresion, "\d{8}" looks ok to me. Why? — Finn Årup Nielsen (fnielsen) (talk) 18:01, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

The error seems no longer to be present. Thanks for the fix. — Finn Årup Nielsen (fnielsen) (talk) 13:59, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

API

Udover det officielle API er der flere private der trækker på det offentlige system og stiller service tilrådighed: http://cvrapi.dk/ er forholdsvist nemt at bruge. — Finn Årup Nielsen (fnielsen) (talk) 15:47, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Database_reports/Constraint_violations/P1059#%22Format%22_violations shows a number of violations where the ID is formatted as A/S\d{4,5} , eg http://datacvr.virk.dk/data/visenhed?enhedstype=virksomhed&id=A/S46887 . I checked 4 and:

• They all are dissolved companies.
• They resolve ok at datacvr.virk.dk
• They don't resolve at OpenCorporates.com
• I checked by replacing "A/S" with 3 leading zeros http://datacvr.virk.dk/data/visenhed?enhedstype=virksomhed&id=00046887 , doesn't work
• This "dissolved company number" is called "Registration number" rather than "CVR number" but it's passed in the same query param "id="
• I submit it's not smart on part of DK CVR to change the format of id upon dissolution. But in any case, shouldn't we add this extra format?

•  Support Yes, we can add this format. I believe it is not because the company is desolved, I think it is because it is an old company. I do not think they change the ID based on status. Most recent companies that are "Opløst efter fusion" should maintain the CVR number. If my understanding is correct. — Finn Årup Nielsen (fnielsen) (talk) 22:02, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
• From the explanation above, it seems to me that is an additional, different type of identifier, that I'd expect to be in another property. --- Jura 22:26, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
• It seems that companies with old-style identifiers also have an 8-digit “pseudo” CVR number, which is visible in the URL on cvr.dk. E.g Privatbanken (Q12332389), A/S227, has the URL https://datacvr.virk.dk/enhed/virksomhed/10453356. The 8-digit number is used in the OpenCorporates ID, dk/10453356. We may want to use this number in the CVR number (P1059) property as well, possibly with a qualifier indicating that it is not a real CVR number. At least this will make auto-linking to cvr.dk work. --C960657 (talk) 16:29, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
